In other words, he does not have to be trapped in this situtaion at all.
I think the fact that he hasn't could be a testament to his desire to do what she would have wanted. If my DH were in her situation, I would fight until the end to take him off artificial life support, because I know that he would not want to be in a persistent vegetative state for years without end. It wouldn't be possible for me to just walk away.
It has been 15 years, he HAS another life. He asked the COURT to consider the evidence about what she would have wanted, and to make its own evaluation, not necessarily HIS alone. THE COURTS found that she would not have wanted to be kept alive based on the evidence we are not privy to.
I saw the brain scans of Teri. It is all fluid. Yuck.
