The parents needed to have a pro-Terri guardian appointed. Not one in favor of the husband, or in favor of them, but in favor of Terri's assumed right to live. That guardian, not the parents, but the guardian then could have brought an Equity case, saying, "we don't care who the closest next of kin is, she probably desires to live and she deserves to live."

I believe there was ONE other court guardian appointed to her who determined that in his evaluation and based on Dr.'s opinions, that Terri would be an excellent candidate for rehabilitation.

In addition, he protested to the husband being her guardian and pointed out the conflict of interest (money and girlfriend) as well as the fact that the husband was denying any rehabilitation attempts or tests and had also tried to deny the regurlarly given "comfort care" including antibiotics for a urinary tract infection.
This was HIS determination as a court appointed guardian a determination he was required to make.
He was recommending that another guardian be ordered for Terri (court appointed or otherwise) and that rehabilitation be considered and started.
His recommendation was denied and in addition he was discontinued as a guardian/observer.
