When my grandfater died it took weeks to talk as if he was really gone. Why does he feel he has to prove that his decision to kill her was the right one. If he believes he is right why prove it to everyone. Maybe he wants to prove he was right to himself?
Tortuga, I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather, but was he in such a state as Terri, for fifteen years? Michael had seven years of fighting to rehabilitate her (and ultimatly finding out there is no chance of recovery) until it was decided to remove the feeding tube for the first time.

As for the parents, they were all too happy to want a piece of her money when Michael followed through with a lawsuit on her behalf, and had a fit when it all goes to Terri's care and her choice.

Since I don't have a daughter/son, I'll use another relative as an example. If my relative would be in a state such as Terri, finding out her husband fought for seven years for rehabilitation and various doctor consults and finding them all the same, I would at least have the decency to let the person who knows her more than I do make that ultimate decision. I would NOT be blindly seeing something that doesn't happen consistently as "her reacting to me" as Terri's parents have. IMWO I feel they are being selfish as to want her like that this whole time.

I give props to Michael for requesting the autopsy and putting up with slanderous BS from people who aren't involved in the case, though I feel no matter what the outcome will be some people will twist it around to their own goals.

As for Jesse, he's just another political figure wanting to pop his two cents worth and fifteen minutes of fame into this case that should have NEVER gone to the FL Supreme Court.
