In any case, why are you so hell-bent to give the power of life and death to some judge, because "it's the law"? I can think of alot of bad laws that have been over-turned.And that is the essence of the argument: what is RIGHT and what is WRONG.

Or does it somehow offend you that this woman's family is willing to care for her?

The law needs to be simple enough to be understandable. Giving the decision to the spouse with the aproval of a judge is the choice in all 50 states, because it is what the vast majority want. That is the best man can do, write simple laws that are mostly right and hope that you aren't one of those cases it messes up.

What offends me is the idea of replacing a generally good, if flawed law with a slapped together piece of drivel that will harm thousands every year in order to save one woman weho did nothing to save herself by preparing a living will or chosing a trustworthy husband.

Archon,

So you want a simple law. I will agree, if I can write it. If you agree let us move on. It seems obvious that Judge Greer agrees with you,...he made the law and is the executioner also.
