Reply #37: You seem to miss the points [View All]

Please identify where the court found that Terri informed Mikchael about her wishes not to be kept alive in such circumstances based upon anything other that Michaels' claims and representations.

You seem to have an insight or knowledge about Terri's thinking that is not in the court record and make lots of claims about what Terri would or wouldn't have wanted. Where di you come by it.

If her wishes or intentions had, in fact, been that well known and documented then the case would probably not have been so contentious and acrimonious. The very absence of such documentation is what both led to polarized viewpoints and to complexity for the courts.

I do not have to approve of what her birth family did in trying to preserve her life and in similar cases - however futile it may have been - to disapprove of Michael's choices to exploit her name for his views - however well intentioned. Why was it wrong for them and right for him ? That's a 'you did it first' defense which does nothing to respect Terri.

Furthermore, with respect to his choice, having the right is not the same as doing what is right.
