Even the Schindlers agree that Michael did "everything he could to help Terri" until he received the malpractice settlement. There is no evidence I have seen that he ever mentioned that she would want to die prior to receiving the award for her care. Do you think the jury would have awarded him all that $ to care for her and rehab her if he had said she wouldn't want any of that, but would want to die?

"It's then, after exhausting all the avenues, that he decides to let her go."

"Then" just happens to co-incide with receiving the $.

If as you believe, Michael just gave up because she was not going to get better, then why won't he allow her parents to care for her? They love her and want her even if she's not in the condition she once was. Why won't he divorce her?

God help us all if we ever said in front of a two-timing husband that a friend says we were going to divorce, "Jeez, I sure wouldn't want to have to live like that," while we watched a movie about someone disabled.

Because he gave her his word he would carry out her wishes and see her dead, and her loony parents would keep her shell vegitating forever.

God help me if anyone tries to keep me alive in that condition. And God help them, I might add. What nobody wants to talk about is WHY the rift between Michael and the Schindlers, who actually lived together for the first four years of so. Do you want to know why? MONEY. The Schindlers were mad they didn't get any.
