This is a sticking point for me as well, but I don't know why.

I've never seen any allegation that Mr. Schiavo has used the money awarded in the lawsuit for anything other than her care? Has anyone else?

Is it not possible that Mr. Schiavo carried on until the lawsuit was won and Terry had been evaluated over and over and over by competant medical personnel before he too gave up hope?

This is all speculation at this point. But the fact remains that these 2 were married when all this business started and court precedent is a surviving spouse makes these kinds of decision, before any grown children and before a surviving parent.
