Sure. It's called 'marriage' - something a lot of us have been trying really hard to defend. He is her husband; the presumption is that he knows her wishes. Anything to the contrary has to be virtually a written notice by Terri herself.

This case was lost in the first days after Terri lost consciousness; no probative investigation that turned up prosecutable evidence, no challenge to the husband's words.

In my view, a great concern for the future is baring courts from making any judgment in these types of cases. Fights over who has the say in medical care; sure. Fights over how medical care is administered or withheld? No way!

So, what do you do when it is the "husband" who is murdering his "inconvenient" wife - using HER therapy moiney to pay for the lawyers to kill her.

I mean, it is slower that way than cutting her throat with a kitchen knife, but at least he doesn't have ot clean the floor afterwards.

Each year, thousands of woman are beat to death/cut/shot/knifed/throttled by the "loving" husbands you apparently want the state to to be supportive of.

Add Micheal to that list.
