Did he say that she wouldn't want to be on life support ever, or that she wouldn't want to have her body kept alive after all hope of recovery was lost? Because the two dates are considerably different, and most people wouldn't want to end life support while hope for a cure remains. But at some point you have to face facts, and Michael has done so long before her parents.

And Michael is the one whose decision it is, no matter how many ghouls want to armchair quarterback, and judge his life, or advance their political agendas. The parents are to be pitied, and it is too bad they couldn't come to an agreement with their daughter's husband, but it's not their call, no matter how many more morality points they have than him. I don't care whether they keep Terri's body alive, and I don't think Terri currently cares either, but Michael does, and it's not my call. It's his.
