A couple of things about MS.
1. In 1993, Terri's doctors recommended to Michael that he remove the tube. This is done all the time in this nation in nursing homes, rehab clinics and hospitals.
He didn't want to do that because he thought it was cruel. He then saw his parents go through it a few years later and so he did something he didn't have to do. (And it wasn't right after he received the insurance settlement by the way. I think it was five years later).
But still he didn't want to be the final arbiter of this and went to the court and asked THEM to make the determination. The Courts noted in their decision he didn't have to do this and effectively weakened his own position by doing so. (I have the exact words in the link to the court decision).
2. During the first 3 years of Terri's PVS status, no one argues that she wasn't given the most rigorous therapy. Everything that could be done, was done. He even had electrodes implanted in her brain in an effort to stimulate her brain activity. In the early 90's, the electrodes used make her ineligible to have an MRI. They use different kinds now and there has been some suggestion that doctors recommended those electrodes be removed, although no freper has ever been able to provide me with a link to that.
#3. In the early 90's, MS sued the hospital for malpractice. Terri presented at the hospital with cardiac arrest as the result of being bulimic. The hospital didn't pick up on that and didn't treat her appropriately which in part resulted in her PVS. MS was given $300,000 for loss of consortium; the rest went to Terri's care and is controlled by the court (I think). Mr. Schindler thought he was entitled to some of that $$ and they argued over the $$.
#4. Previous to that, MS and the Schindlers had gotten along fabulously. Schindlers considered him like a son and said they couldn't get through it without him. Then came the $$ problem.
The Wolfson Report is considered the most thorough history of this matter. It's 35-40 pages, IIRC. And both sides really liked this guy.

Was there any explanation given for Terri and Michael not telling the Schindlers they were undergoing the fertilty treatments for a year, that you know of?
