No shit, I know what her diagnosis. The use of the word "vegetable" is pejorative. It is not a joke and it is not funny. But apparently it must make you feel good as you are staunch in your defence of it.

This is not relevant to your mocking of her and neither is who I care or don't care about or my religion or lack thereof. I am not a practising Christian but I don't mock their beliefs. Your attempt to use the word pejoratively, much like many liberals, ensures you will never win a presidential election anytime soon.
As for the husband, I think it was a he said, she said (the she being Terri's parents and siblings and friends). I would err on the side of life without corroborating evidence. Maybe someday if one of your kids is murdered by the state at the behest of her "husband", who is living with another wife and family, you will feel differently.
