While I do appreciate what you are saying, this isn't about an average scenario - it's pretty extreme. You're assuming that Michael Schiavo's motives are pure. You're also assuming he is telling the truth when he claims she told him her wishes. I say facts of the case cast enough doubt. FL law says guardians are to be impartial. How impartial can one be in his situation?
And how can you ignore the fact that he only remembered what she wanted ten years after her accident? And how can you ignore the pretenses under which he was awarded the settlement money?
By the way, there are statements by others who claim he said otherwise. An ex-girlfriend says that he told her he had no idea what Terri would want.

Remember that the argument in Schiavo's first lawsuit was that he needed to be awarded financial damages because he wanted to go to college, to become a nurse, so he could care for his wife.
And then, when he doesn't go to college, he remembers that she wanted to die! HE LIED!
