Is She Thinking? This photo of Terri Schiavo with her mother was released by those who believed Terri could recover. Other photos (not released) and other signs told the opposite story. Although autopsy showed that Terri’s brain had shrunk markedly, remember that hope is part of being human. That helps explain why some people were passionately opposed to removal of Terri’s stomach tube.
