Terri was put into a nursing home at that point, not hospice. As this was the time frame that Michael was looking for a malpractice award, do you not think he had any say in the matter? As far as the Schindlers are concerned, Mr. Schindler has retired and spends his time keeping track of all the paperwork that has resulted from this. If Terri were brought home, I am guessing that his time would be devoted to taking care of Terri, and Mrs. Schindler would also help. They would take her out on errands and excursions. She doesn't need to be bound to a bed. A wheelchair will support her just fine for hours at a time. Then she would need to have her feeding tube taken care of. That's not hard. Many people have feeding tubes.

On top of the Terri's parents, there is Bobby and her sister, Suzanne. As well, there are dozens of people who are more than happy to help care for this special woman. You shouldn't be portraying Terri as a burden, yet you do. It is unnecessary. Terri is a blessing.

I'm not the one who portrayed her as a burden. And, again, regardless of who was the decision-maker back then it does not affect the obligations and burdens of care. Keep in mind that back then it was a family effort as well.
