Why is Michael Schiavo so desperate to have his wife dead?

I really do not understand why this man doesn't just give responsibility for Terri to her parents and get on with his life. They want to care for her and do not want to let him allow her to die in a such a gruesome way.

What I also don't understand is why it is ok to allow someone to suffer for days from starvation and dehydration to let them "die with dignity" rather than just give them an overdose of morphine. That would be so much more merciful. And no, I don't support euthanasia. I think that allowing death by withholding food and water is just as evil as actively killing someone with morphine.

What I also wonder about Michael is why he is so determined to limit Terri's contact with her family. And why he accepted money as settlement of a lawsuit and said he would use it to care for Terri and then proceeded to spend it fighting to end her life. And why he thinks anyone would believe that he has Terri's best interests at heart when he is living with another woman with whom he has two children. This is such a weird situation...and what is weirder to me is that the courts keep ruling in favor of this man.
