Well, I have not heard about that case, but thanks to Google, I found out about what it was about.

But I don't know how Finn's condition really compared to Terri's. Also, in Terri's case, the parents were willing to assume full responsibility for Terri -- I don't know whehter the same was offered in Hugh Finn's case.

Hugh's parents did offer to care for him, repeatedly.

And since you asked, Hugh was in much better shape cognitively than Terri. He spoke until his shunt became clogged and his wife refused to allow the physicians to repair it.
