In what seems to be a complete abandonment of objective and ethical reporting, many in the mainstream media continue to try and persuade the public that the needless and horrific death of Terri Schiavo was justified by inaccurately reporting that Terri was in a coma, brain dead, unresponsive, a "vegetable", and also making the argument that she died when she first collapsed in 1990.

Despite these erroneous reports and offensive, dehumanizing labels, Terri’s family has always held that their only intention was to care for and love Terri just as she was.

Nevertheless, here are just a few videos of Terri (from 2002) that will undoubtedly confirm that Terri was, in fact, responsive and trying to communicate as best she could. This was in spite of having been warehoused, and without any credible reason, denied therapy and rehabilitation for over 12 years. These powerful images will leave no doubt that what many in the popular media are reporting is patently false.
