I believe the standard for legal guardianship should be changed. In fact, I would suggest that a living will or other incontrovertable evidence be necessary to prove that someone in Terri's position should wish to die.

In Terri's case, this doesn't work, because Michael is the legal guardian, no matter what his character.

Sadly, if Terri had chosen a Godly spouse, this situation would not have happened. I do not believe that God wants Terri to die, and I believe He grieves for her. Michael has known all along that he would win this case, no matter how much the Schindler's have prayed. Judge Greer is bound by the laws in Florida, not the Ten Commandments.

What you are saying here is very important, and worth discussing at great length, in my view. Terri is also worth discussing at great length, but, there are levels of learning, and one level is application. Applying the lessons is an important task.

Another thought I had is this: giving parents, rather than your spouse, greater power might be preferable in a living will. Because a spouse may well want to continue with his or her life, and that desire conflicts with the natural desire of the parents' of the other, ill spouse -- which is to preserve the life of their offspring.
