So is Michael the husband that she might have trusted, is he the same husband that would logically make these kinds of decisions

The longer the time between incompetency and the decision to "pull the plug", the more one needs to be wary. If I had a suggestion for changing the law it would be to consider appointing a legal guardian for such issues when the spouse has been effectively separated for 5 years. This would allow for most family members to make these hard descions while protecting others from spouses whose lives have changed.

The law, even in Florida, stated that Terri should have HER OWN ATTORNEY to represent HER interests. Greer violated the law.
