according to testimony, Terri said after Michael's grandmother's funeral that she didnt wish to be artificially kept alive, that when it was her turn to go, to just let her go. She said this several times to various people including Michael's family members and friends. The fact that it wasnt written down is unfortunate, but the Court found that there was more evidence than not. Michael had the burden of proving that Terri DID say she didnt want artificial help. He did. You may not agree, but thats neither here nor there. As for his Karma, I agree that he has to answer for his actions in this life when he meets his maker or reviews his life, but having said that, everything I have seen speaks to me of a man who is truly trying to honor his wife's wishes. He's remained staunch in the face of overwhelming odds and as I said before, he must be drawing upon some MAJOR inner strength. He has acted consistently. His early care of Terri has been without blemish (He was even more obsessed with her care than the care homes were!) His road is not an easy one, and I wouldnt be in his shoes for anything. Similarly, I sympathize with Terri's parents, I cant even begin to imagine the heartache. They gave it their best shot and they acted according to their beliefs as well.
in the end, a very sad saga all around.
