I don't think so...

1. If he divorced her, he'd be ordered to pay for her continued support (alimony) and would likely be bankrupted in the process..

2. Even if the parents did pay, they'd quickly go broke and the state would have to pick up the tab.

Aside from that, it was her wish that she die. I would take the wishes of a loved one very seriously, just as he is.

What you say doesn't compute, I think.

Under the circumstances, it seems pretty clear that an amicable solution exists: the parents take Terri and agree not to require alimony...certainly Terri cannot petition for it; Hubby won't; and he could agree to forfiet custody upon that condition.

How expensive is it to care for Terri if the parents are willing to do it? I'd could do it....and survive the economics. Not much different from caring for my Gram with alzheimers and diabetis for two years, I reckon.

How are you so sure that Terri expressed her wish to die? I have often casually said that, under similar circumstances, my wife is to pull the plug. But I never thought enough about it to render it on a document. And reading these stories, I now wonder if I would. Hmmm

AMBROSE WROTE: "Aside from that, it was her wish that she die. I would take the wishes of a loved one very seriously, just as he is."

I AM RESPONDING: "That is just pure Barbra Streisand!!!" You don't KNOW what SHE wanted! You just know what "LOVING" husband Michael wants!"

I AM ADDING: "Did you know I am the sole heir of Howard Hughes' Estate! How do you KNOW? Because I just TOLD you so! [Surely someone wouldn't LIE to obtain BILLIONS of Dollars, would they?]

I AM ADDING: "Do I have ANY proof?...Do I have ANY written, notarized documentation? Not a SHRED of EVIDENCE!...But I AM...I MUST be!...Just because I TOLD you so! (NOT!)

I AM ADDING: "I cannot believe the COURTS have been HOODWINKED by "LOVING" husband Michael! They are KILLING a disabled woman by the WORD of a person who stands to GAIN AT LEAST $1.2 MILLION (Plus a BOOK DEAL)---but ONLY if the disabled woman DIES and cannot speak before she dies to CONFIRM FIRST HAND if he is LYING---and then they let the person who MOST LIKELY is the CAUSE of the injury be the GUARDIAN!!!!! It is INSANE!!!

I AM ADDING: "What other cases do you know of where the courts so easily award the DEATH PENALTY of a 100% INNOCENT VICTIM based on the HEARSAY of someone who stands to GAIN MILLIONS of Dollars and may avoid being CONVICTED of ATTEMPTED MURDER if they can keep the 100% INNOCENT VICTIM from EVER speaking up?????"

I AM ADDING: "When somebody has something BIG to GAIN by LYING and they have NO WRITTEN, NOTARIZED, DOCUMENTATED EVIDENCE, it OUGHT to TELL you something!...IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!!!

I AM ADDING: "If Terri had WANTED to be KILLED by her "LOVING" husband Michael, she would have put it in WRITING via a LIVING WILL!!!"

I AM ADDING: "LOVING" husband Michael WANTS---and NEEDS---Terri DEAD!!!
