Wow, I guess as someones guardian you get to play God.
He certainly does not come out looking very good.
But in his defense if he believes as he has been told by the medical community that she is PVS then those things wouldn't matter. Having said that there is no reason for him not to allow or provide for such things unless he is just a mean and hateful person.
He won't get my vote for nice guy of the year.
There is a law in place that protects disabled people, like Terri. Even if she were in a pvs state, which she is not, he is not supposed to, by law under guardianship, cease providing therapy, rehabilitation, and other basic necessities, like food and water. Those are criminal acts under the guardianship laws and criminal statutes.
One doctor, Ronald Cranford said she had no cortex. NO other doctor stated that. Cranford is a "professional witness" that testifies on the side of euthanasia.

From this link: "Some admitted there are some things beyond any doctor's ken. There are no tests to confirm a person's "inner awareness," said Dr. Peter Bambakidis, a neurologist from Cleveland". Keep in mind this statement was made by one of Schiavos doctors.

Or he's afraid that she might recover.
Either way, they don't seem to be the actions of a loving husband.
Actually it has been written in many places that Dr. Gambone, who was Terri's attending physician, testified on the stand the he admitted Terri to the hospice "because Michael TOLD him to do so". So it seems like Mikey was calling the shots, not the doctors.
