I'm coming to terms with the fact that so many idiosyncrasies of the case that should have raised red flags and questioned Michael as a guardian years ago were glossed over

That has come to my mind as well. Though, at this point, it does not matter for Terri. Maybe a close examination of the history case will be useful is preparing whatever legislation may be required.

Exactly. We all know (and dread?) the coming legislative battles because over the last couple of decades there has been, unlike in the past, a bias toward death, instead of the usual bias toward life. And many points were glossed over. And this case, with all it's flaws, will be held up as precedent.
