Your wife died naturally, sadly, but naturally. Terri is not in a vegetative state and there are signs that she could be helped and wants help. I have no problem with a death that's natural and imminent. People must die at some time but not starving to death. That's inhuman. Would you starve your dog to death? No. You wouldn't. This is not an easy case to decide. I've already signed a do not resuscitate on my 'will' if I'm already close to death. People need to have a living will. Perhaps this will encourage folks to do that, no matter what their age.
Actually, according to ALL the medical and court-appointed observers who've spent a lot of time with Terri, she IS in a vegetitative state and is absolutely noncognizant.
This is why Michael has won all 11 court cases and her parents lost all 11.
Many people have been fooled by the videotape snippets her parents have put out. When people realize Terri's always like that whether her parents are there or not and has never shown any cognitive ability whatsoever in 15 years; they change their minds and become angry at her parents. I am one of them. I don't like being manipulated.
