(Oh, what if it were Terri's parents who wanted to "pull the plug" but Michael said she wanted to live? Still feel the same?)

Absolutely! Same goes for adult children who want to pull a feeding tube and let ma or pa die a slow death. Notice I said feeding tube, not ventilator, or heart/lung machine.

Btw, living wills are dangerous. Get something called a will to live, or a medical power of attorney.

So you're saying the decision should be left to the parents, not the spouse, even if the parents want to "pull the plug"?

I don't think you read my post correctly.
