"This time it is to save Terri, next time it could be to prevent my loved one from carrying out my wishes. Remember it's a two way street..."

Have a living will and it won't be a problem. The bill specifically only addresses where a living will didn't exist. I don't care -what- someone's spouse says, a "desire to die" should -never- be upheld by nothing more than oral testimony from the spouse. Infinitely abusable. Especially in this situation, where he's had a huge conflict in terms of financial gain (getting a hold of the malpractice suit award that he swore would be used to rehabilitate her, which he hasn't done).

I agree with you completely.
