But his clear conflict of interest in regards to her well-being, his refusal to allow physical therapy, and his inability to remember her wish not to live in a coma until 7 years had passed (by which time he taken up with the other woman) screams that he was unfit to anyone daring to take note.
Cohabitation and children don't always a common-law marriage make.
Here in Texas, you have to have a financial interest in common, and represent the both of you as husband and wife.
And you are blessed with a loving husband, Terri was not. There were conflicts of interest that anyone would deem unwise at best to allow her to have Michael continue as her sole legal guardian. Someone dropped the ball on this one and Terri died. all that has been said is not true, get the facts.

And in Florida, it appears that not even that does it. Florida does not seem to recognize the concept of "common-law marriage" at all.
what a crock. he loved her enough to carry out her final wishes.
and FYI most people designate their spouse as the person to make decisions in the event of incapacitation. if you don't trust your spouse, then maybe you shouldn't be married.
the lesson - as stated above - is to simply complete a durable power of attorney for health care. my wife and i filled out the simple forms in about 10 minutes. then there is no confusion as to when you want to pull the plug.
Dear Michael,
In the event that I suffer some disability, or possibly if you strangle me.
I want you to proclaim your love for me and collect as much insurance money as you can in my name. As soon as you collect it Michael, discontinue all therapy that might help me.
I then want you to hire lawyers to have the courts kill me with that money if necessary. I love you Michael.
PS
Don't forget to wait 8 years to say that I wanted to die.
Love,
Terri

And this is the part where your post loses credibility....

"And this is the part where your post loses credibility...."
Maybe this adds to the credibility...
And if strangling fails, maybe you can just dehydrate me to death for as long as it takes. Remember I have a strong heart so it may take thirteen days without a drop to complete your killing."
Nope, it's still bizarre conspiracy theory nonsense. Funny how people liked to spread that, but nobody was willing to come forward under oath, huh?
I understand the emotionalism inherent in this situation, but too many people get caught up in and let their good sense fly out the window. They're willing to swallow anything, no matter how goofy.
That is right. That is why you should get educated in some facts instead of the Kool Aid being passed around.
You hadn't listened to the audio. It takes an hour and twenty minutes to hear it and it is just chock full of facts which are documented.
Yes, this is a conservative site.
Wanting to give the State power over medical decisions is not a conservative value.
Murder of an innocent is not a conservative value. I will repeat the link for you. The post is #1880. Goverment was complicit in this murder from the beginning and we have tons of evidence to back it up. Ironically, your post was to the one, bjs1779, who holds the huge repository of such facts, different from the emotional and vague types like me.
Please do not think I am attacking you, am really trying to help. Congratulations on your son!
As I illustrate, the death culture works hard through the media and elsewhere to sway otherwise reasonable people into snoozing while they work their evil.
If you can listen to the whole audio without being clouded by preconceptions, you will see what I mean.

It's also not what happened here.
I've watched the tapes. I've read more words than I care to remember. IMHO, it's all a lot of emotion spilling over.
Medical decisions do not belong to the state. They belong to the patient's guardian. That you don't like the decisions this guardian made does not invalidate that principle, and does not warrant handing the decision making over to the government in any form.
TS was more than brain damaged her brain was gone and the autopsy showed that. There was nothing left but a shell enclosing autonomic processes.
No one would want to survive in such a condition. There was no "murder" involved either but a medical decision which is made HUNDREDS of times a day when there is no hope left. Nor was there enough consciousness left to experience agony.
Could I have made decisions to prolong the life of my wife through extraordinary procedures - yes. Would she have wanted that? No. Would there been anything accomplished thereby? No. It was time to let her go just as it was time to let Terri go.
