What difference does it make? Her parents are willing to care for her. It makes no sense to pronounce a death sentence on someone who has responsible caretakers willing to tend her. If only for the mental health of the parents she should be allowed to stay with them.

I can't figure out the husband's motives. He has a new "wife", children and life, why doesn't he just let Terri's parents have her. His behavior defies all logic.

Per someone on one of the newsy programs yesterday, the ex-husband got a legal settlement years ago. That settlement was based on the fact that he needed the $$$ to keep Teri alive, pay for hospital care and services, etc.

[I haven't kept up with the nuances of this case.]

I happen to believe, from experience, that God is involved in our lives, and will in fact work to refine us if we ask. I believe this is a test for our nation and people. One way or the other, refinement or chastisement, something is seriously afoot here.

I wonder who is paying her hospital bills?

Does insurance cover the side effects of bulimia/anorexia?

Michael's motive: He doesn't want her rehabilitated to the point where she can indicate HOW she got in her brain-damaged state.

Not if he fears her getting better and exposing him as the one responsible for her condition...
