"Court testimony provided by members of the Schindler family included very personal statements about their desire and intention to ensure that Theresa remain alive . . . at any and all costs"
This should be repeated for those who ask why or why not? Why doesn't he just divorce her?
An article in the paper continues after the above Schindler remarks....
"Wolfson told me that when Michael heard this, he said: "That's it. I'm never going to let that happen to her."
(Dr.)Wolfson says the Schindlers later recanted their testimony. (What? When they realized that they had a Frankenstein in the making?)
The reporter asks the court appointed guardian...."Can Terri recover?"
"Theresa's neurological tests and CT scans indicate objective measures of the persistent vegetative state," the report says. "These data indicate that Theresa's cerebral cortex is principally liquid, having shrunken due to the severe anoxic trauma experienced 13 years ago."
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/columnists/orl-locmiket25022505feb25.storyThank you for highlighting that. It's the primary reason, imo, that Michael doesn't just walk away.
I know that given the same set of circumstances that my husband has too much honor to let that happen to me and he would honor me more than that. Even if he'd moved on and found someone else.
