None of those are present here.

They were interesting because they were all taken out of context to fit the agenda of the parents. It wasn't a revelation of Terri's desires years later, he just finally accepted that rehab wasn't going to make her any better. Girlfriend? Even the parents were urging him to start new relationships. Despite her being blind we knew even before the autopsy that her brain wasn't functioning and that half of it had turned to liquid. The right to lifers just refused to admit it.
