I could not disagree with you more. Today's murder of a young woman because she has become inconvenient to her husband is tomorrow's killing of the elderly because their children want their inheritance or because space in nursing homes is scarce. The murder of this woman represents the complete devaluation of life.
You folks remind me on many clients I have had who cannot see that they might -- just might -- not have it right. The court did not sustain the husband's right to make decisions for his disabled wife because they liked him better than his adversaries the parents -- or because it necessarily would have reached the same decision. They ratified the husband's -- any husband's -- right to make those difficult decisions for his disabled wife because the law requires it -- absent disqualifying facts not found here.
I realize that you would have weighed the evidence differently than the judge did, but every losing party in a lawsuit feels that way. That's why we hire judges.
