I think the parents acted in a misguided manner from the beginning. Their efforts towards condeming Terri to a forced existance as a vegetable was a despicable act. I have supported Michael all the way on this.
Back in 1990, my family went through much the same ordeal as the Schiavos. The difference though, was that we all agreed that my Dad would not have wanted to be kept alive, and unconscious. Once the Neuro specialist, and the other members of the Medical consultant team agreed that there was no recovery, we ended it.
The only real surprise for me in all this though, was the right wing folks, who decry any 'gumment' interference in their lives, embracing 'big brother' to step in, and counteract the wishes of the wife and husband.
I consider myself very conservative, but on this issue, I really did, and continue to feel, that my President, my Governor, and many others, far exceeded their authority, and their positions.
I am NOT a big fan of the courts, but in this case, justice was, indeed, done.
