...The Schindler's have used "Terri's Fight" for several years now. They felt no compulsion to consider Michael's feelings and have shown a good deal of contempt for him. He owes them no consideration beyond what his humanity calls for.
If we accept his position with respect to his wife, and the judgment of the court, then -this- is Terri's true fight, as it has been since Michael petitioned the courts: to fight against state interference in a personal medical decision.
If that sounds familiar think of the right to choose an abortion and how much the state has tried to interfere in -that-.
I think this is a very practical way of honouring his wife and her right to be free of state intervention.
