I don't understand either . Or why doesn't he give POA to her parents with the stipulation that they grant him a divorce on Terri's behalf (I'm sure they wouldn't protest).
I'm not sure of all the legalities of it (or even what the laws are in Florida surrounding divorce) but in many states divorce laws have become very lax and broad.
In anyway, if we take nothing else from this, its the importance of having a living will/advance directives or some type of written instructions concerning the type of care you want (or don't want) if this happens to you. Terri was only 26 (same age as many of us) when she fell into this state so its never to early to have it.
