The way I understand it is that Terri's ex-husband has stated that he doesn't want to be he caregiver. Shouldn't her parents then take over that role? If he doesn't want anything more to do with her then he should just leave her alone.

He has stated that is was her wish not to be kept alive under these circumstances. (Either you belive him or you don't) Many people believe, even if those were her wishes, she should be allowed to be fed and her parents should become guardians.

While, I usually would side with the expressed wishes of the person, in this case, I might defer to the parents. But, here is my question, who will take care of her (both physically and mentally) if her parents take over gaurdianship and then pass away. It seems great for them to want her until the end of their lives, but what happens to her after that?
