His wife just happened to be delusional.
She was his spouse, his legal guardian, and BY FL LAW, entitled to make the decisions regarding his health care and his likely wishes given his condition and prognosis....
Yet the Judge gave his non-guardian children, who stood to gain financially from this man's death, the standing he refused to give Terri's parents...why?
Sheesh, Greer and the "kids-from-the-first-marriage" gave this guy 6 weeks.

Actually, by Florida law his living will governed the decisions, not his wife.

In this case the husband's holographic (written) declaration trumps the spouse's wishes. Greer's decision was the correct on based upon the evidence and Florida law.

I wonder how much the children donated to Greer's re-election campaign?
