I think we agree that the POA should have been handed to the parents. But we don't know everything in this case. Perhaps Mike knows something we don't know? He probably knows the wishes of Teri as well as anyone. And he might know something about the relationship between Teri and the parents that we don't know too. And he might know that the parents were living on false hopes, and that their mental stability might have been in question. Perhaps he was thinking of them too. What good could come from another 15 years of false hopes for the parents? Would they be able to move on in their lives too? Or would they have been hanging on for a miracle? And what for Teri? Another 15 years on a feeding tube? Boy these are very difficult questions indeed, even more difficult than what to do about Social Security. IMHO, Congress should leave those difficult decisions to the families...and get to work on the much simpler work of saving Social Security. Orca
