"The law has always been that the spouse has the first word on decicions like this."

To quote a great debater, "You are wrong". The law has seldom allowed people to make a "decision" to kill their spouse.

Incredible.
You really need to educate yourself when it comes to this subject.

Spouses make life and death decisions when it comes to medical treatment for their partners ALL THE TIME.
It is the law.

No less than SIX courts have decided that Terri's husband had the right to make this decision for her.
You know the law better than they do?

You asserted, "No less than SIX courts have decided that Terri's husband had the right to make this decision for her." Actually, only one court, Greer's court has made that ruling. All other courts did not review evidence of his conflicts of interest or bring in any new evidence. You assertion is incorrect, but it looked convincing without considering the rubber stamptroopers of the Florida judiciary.
