Unfortunately, your opinion does not reflect pertinent facts in this case--including the $1 million award designated for Terri's rehab that was frittered away by her husband. Likewise, her parents offered to pay the husband to care for Terri themselves.
The husband petitioned for Terri's death months--not years--after winning the $1.3 million award. $300,000 went directly to hubbie for loss of consortium. During the malpractice trial, Schiavo pleaded for monetary assistance to care for his wife. He conveniently "recalled" Terri's death wish soon after the money was put in his control.

Do you know how this has affected him finacially before the money was granted? I don't see 1 million dollars going very far in the care here for the last 13 years. If the parents want to take up the finacial cost I believe the courts should allow that, and the money should be awarded properly between all the people involved.

Also consider how much this costs emotionally. To the family as a whole. Including her parents... I pray they will all come to a common gound and settle everything as a family....
