There is an alternate explanation, of course - he honestly wished for and hoped for her recovery at first, and he did apparently take steps in the early years to promote her recovery. Then as time passed and it became clear that she was not going to recover, he began considering what she might have wanted in such an event. Obviously, I don't read minds, and hence cannot say what was really going through his head at any given moment, but some process like that that would seem to explain the sequence of events fairly plausibly.

He already decided by 1993 that he didn't want Terri to come back, as evienced by his destroying her cats and her wedding rings. Funny he didn't remember her wishes for years after that.

I merely present possibilities - whether you choose one or the other makes no difference to me.
