I don't think there's any doubt that Michael came to the conclusion about 10 years ago that he needed to terminate Terri's life. I imagine he'd admit it if he was asked.
He has systematically set out to do that and he's fairly close to accomplishing it.
The question I still have is whether it matters. I haven't seen any persuasive and compelling evidence that settles the question of whether Terri is still inside her body or not.
Yes, I've viewed all the videos, but I've also read the reports submitted to the court. I just don't know. To his credit, Michael hasn't offered videos of Terri NOT responding to stimuli, but he could. I have no doubt that my wife could shoot video which "proved" I was dead.
I believe that we should always err, if ever, on the side of life. The case hasn't been made to me, at least, that Terri should die. But without recent testing and evaluation, how can we know? If Terri isn't in there anymore, then all I have is a sense of sadness as her body dies.
Before we allow that, we need to know whether Terri, the person, is still in that body and aware of what's going on.
Which side has expressed more interest in letting real evidence of Terri's real present situation reach disinterested persons?
If Michael wanted to show the world that Terri was PVS (assuming she actually is, which I doubt) he could let the parents take a blood sample and video her, with Michael running a silultaneous video. The parents could then confirm that Terri was not sedated, and would have video that would either support their case or not. If the parents tried to take video clips out of context, Michael could pulicly show them in context.
There are many other things Michael could do if he wanted to show Terri was PVS, if she actually is. His refusal to do any of them suggests pretty strongly to me that he believes people might decide she's not PVS and that he's a liar.
