I agree with that in a lot of ways. I think what made Michael decide not to give in to the family was testimony they made in court.
The Schindlers testified that even if Terri got diabetes and had multiple amputations, they would keep her alive. They also testified that regardless of what she would want, they will keep her alive. I've posted the link several times but have lost it in the midst of so many freepmails right at the moment.
I thought this was an interesting article that shows the Schindlers once had nothing but praise for Michael and even wanted him to date again. But then money reared its ugly head.

No. They said he should divorce her.
Don't lie.

That really does not bother me as one who does not rely upon 'man' to save life. Statements like this are not about money it is a parents love of a child. I would probably say the same thing, and yet do the complete opposite when faced with the actual situation.
How is it that the parents are held to a higher standard than a man who has moved on with his life? A decision was based upon a marriage vow, yet there was no marriage in existence, other than a piece of paper giving this man entitlement over her life.
I am not ready to make marriage mean this.
