Until this case, it was illegal to remove a feeding tube from any patient who required it. Michael had the government interfere and change the law, to almost make it legal in Terri's case. Not quite legal, but close enough that he could get the government to interfere again, and declare it legal, in spite of clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. And he repeatedly had the government interfere, time and time again, until he got what he wanted. It was always about what he wanted. He even said so. Now, what was that about not wanting the government to interfere?

He was the legal and final arbiter of her desires. She was brain dead. To provide her release was his duty.

Trying to keep the government from interfering with Terri's desires means you have to get involved with the government.
