Please try to think this through. Yes, everyone has the right to live. However, what if you are not capable of choosing that right? That is why we have power of attorney, and next of kin. They are authorized to speak on our behalf when we are unable to. She, obviously, is unable to express exactly what she wants. Therefore, it's up to the next of kin, who is her husband. Your personal feelings on him and his position notwithstanding, he is the one who decides what is "best" for her. You want to take that away from him.

Again, your feelings towards him notwithstanding, how would you feel if your spouse was physically and/or mentally unable to choose their own fate, and you and their parents were feuding on it. Legally you have the right to choose for them. Would you want the government to take that away?

"However, what if you are not capable of choosing that right?"

Fortunately, the Constitution decides for me and my God given unalienable right to life. That way, no conflict of interest, such as the hino's, will kill me. The govt. was instituted to protect that most basic right. If it doesn't, what need do we have for govt.?

Straying beyond Constitutional borders will just get us further mired in complex and conflicting interests. Not to mention rights made out of whole cloth.
