longnshort, After all those years of various therapies, with no improvement in his wife's condition, Michael Schiavo perhaps began to realize that Terri was not going to get any better. Most people in that type of situation will start out with great hopes that their loved ones will improve or even recover. Most times, this never happens. I believe this is the conclusion Michael Schiavo reluctantly reached.

Yes, I believe Terri Schiavo expressed a desire to not be kept alive with heroic and artificial means and, apparently, so did the various courts. The story is that she made these statements more than once, and in the presence of people other than her husband, the statements being triggered by something she had seen on television.

That said, I am not at all surprised that a 25-year-old would not consider it important to draw up a living will or durable power of attorney. I would hope that people of all ages are now getting their papers in order. - Holly
