It was Terri's wish that she not live like that. She expressed that wish to Michael, to his brother (Scott), and to her best friend, Joan (Scott's wife).

All three testified under oath to that effect. The judge accepted the statements.

I wasn't aware of that. Does Michael have any conflict of interest here? I've heard claims that he stands to inherit money if she dies.

"Does Michael have any conflict of interest here? I've heard claims that he stands to inherit money if she dies."

Back in 1993, Michael received a check for $300K for loss of consortium. (A side note: Terri's parents wanted a piece of that. Michael refused. That was the start of the falling out process between them. True story.)

In addition, I believe Michael was awarded $1.4M (placed in a trust) for Terri's long term care. There may be more, I'm not really sure -- I just got into this.

Anyways, I think there's very little left. I heard he turned down some major money to divorce her and let her live. Rumor? I don't know.
