"... but I wonder why he is so deadset on having her feeding tube removed."

It was Terri's wish that she not live like that. She expressed that wish to Michael, to his brother (Scott), and to her best friend, Joan (Scott's wife).

All three testified under oath to that effect. The judge accepted the statements.

It was the judge, not Michael, who made the decision based on the the testimony and ordered the feeding tube removed (in 2000).

I wasn't aware of that. Does Michael have any conflict of interest here? I've heard claims that he stands to inherit money if she dies.
