That he got to retain spousal rights is an abomination, given that his ability to not be considered an adulterer was based upon the fact that in her 'vegetative' state that part of the marriage contract was rendered null and void. Then when it came time to euthanize her, the contract was resurrected in full.

His acting in her best interest was compromised, and compromised by leaps and bounds.

As I said on another thread, he's lucky he didn't marry an Italian, because he would have been shown just who next of kin really was.

I don't recall when we crossed the death line. I NEVER thought a spouse had the right to take their partner's life (in any manner). I thought the request to not have medical procedures HAD to be in writing. Can my spouse deny me emergency life-supporting medical treatment and would the EMS people be required to go along with that and could my spouse donate my organs against my will?

The medical profession is not to diminish the condition of their client and thus the medical profession cannot make such decision. Several years ago I remember someone fighting a long court battle to end their life. Dr. Death is in jail for assisting people who wanted to die.

What event, if any, opened wide the door to spouses/families having life and death control with nothing in writing or the written wishes not exposed. This is what the law should be not some new law about adultery.

I do believe they will be killing us off for our organs. After-all, it is the medical profession, organ donation, and emergency situations that automatically gets you hooked up to the lifesaving equipment that "they" later decide they want you to make the decision to unhook.

I have asked myself many times if all the life-sustaining/support equipment is really necessary and I conclude that there must be many instances it is done solely to allow time to pose the question, while keeping the organs fresh for someone else. I believe it unfairly forces your family into a position of correcting the inappropriate use of the life-support equipment. I believe organ donations has a place in this puzzle of degradation. I would like someone to give me another marker and try to convince me I am wrong.
