My personal opinion is and has been: If Terri's mother wanted to take care of her in Terri's waning months, she should have been able to do so. She may have died earlier even with her mother's loving care. Not giving her nutrition and hydrating her to me is murder. Nothing more, nothing less.
Absolutely.
But can you understand that those of us who felt that way STILL accept the fact that the laws of the State of Florida allow her guardian to make the decision and we respect that?
I do.
Terri's mother tried to take care of her daughter years and years before. It lasted for less than 2 weeks and they found it overwhelming.
There is nothing to indicate that now, years older, she would be more able to handle the stress.
And since the Schindlers testified under oath they would keep Terri alive whether she wanted it or not, I think the judge and others involved in this matter found that VERY disturbing.
