There is no evidence that this is the case...except testimony from her sick husband who has massive conflicts of interest.

In other words, the answer is no. His testimony is too tainted. If someone wants to be put to death just because they are using a feeding tube (a pretty unlikely scenario) then the burden of the law should be that THEY make that statement along with signed witnesses, ie, sort of like a will. But the hearsay testimony of someone with an interest in the case being given the weight it has is insane.

I believe this also contradicts his earlier testimony in the original settlement case where Michael said he was going to take care of her for the rest of his life.

I agree that there is no evidence, which I why I posed a hypathetical scenario. The reason being, is that many of my colleagues do not agree that anyone should be able to choose to let themselves die, even if they have it clearly spelled out in their will. I was just looking for feedback. Thanks
