Regardless of what you believe to be true about her brain (and medical opinion was not uniform on the subject), we do not euthanize people in this country. The simultaneous arguments that Terri had no consciousness brain AND that it was cruel to allow her to live is an example of wanting to have it both ways and stacking the deck in favor of killing her. If she had no conscious brain, she wasn't suffering and it wasn't cruel to allow her to continue to live. OTOH if she was suffering so badly "mercy killing" was justified then she must have had some brain function. One of the other could be true, not both. Of course, I don't see any reason to think either view is accurate.
