I see no way that this judge could have concluded that the testimony of the husband that Terri would have wanted to die is "clear and convincing evidence" by itself.

Others gave similar testimony.

To me, it looks like the court just made a judgment that this woman's life is not worth living.

To me, it seems that you, like many others commenting here, choose to base your opinions on emotions and not on facts.

Oh, you mean "others" such as the "loving husband's" siblings?? Oh, yes, those are really impartial parties.

"it seems that you, like many others commenting here, choose to base your opinions on emotions and not on facts."

"Seems" being the operative word here. While you are right that many of us are very emotional (outraged and heartsick would be more accurately descriptive), that emotion has come about precisely BECAUSE of the facts that have been uncovered, NOT in disregard of them.

I assume (correctly I hope) that you are a conservative and a compassionate person of conscience, in which case I also have to assume that it is YOU who is offering an opinion which is not rooted in the facts, because no compassionate conservative person of conscience could know many of the facts of this case and not, at the very least, think that, if there is the least bit of doubt, we should err on the side of life.
