For me seeing this on the news really hit home. From a first hand experience with my grandmother who suffered a massive stroke that left her in the same medical condition as Terri, what her family is going through is very difficult. By not having a will that stated what her wishes were, my grandmother was kept alive for 5 years by a feeding tube. She passed away just this year at the age of 94, I miss my grandmother, but hated seeing her in that condition. I do not believe that she would have wanted to be kept alive in that state.

That is the importance of having a Will, and letting your loved ones know your wishes.
