Dude, you're not making any sense at all.
He's not "taking the side of the court", for god's sake!!! He had one opinion about what Terri would want, and her parents had another opinion. He elected AS HER LEGAL GUARDIAN to turn over the decision to an OBJECTIVE body. And in every single instance since he did that 7 YEARS AGO the courts have essentially decided that 1. Terri's in a PVS and has no hope for any recovery, and 2. based on her stated wishes, according to multiple witnesses, she would not wish to remain alive given the circumstances. Every single court case in those 7 years has been as a result of her parent's appeals of the court's decision, and every single trial has come to the conclusion that allowing her to die would be consistent with her wishes.
