Suppose I were in a PVS. I've told my wife I want the tube pulled.

Scenario A: She pulls the tube, five years later she meets someone new and starts a new family.
Scenario B: The courts don't let her pull the tube. My body stays alive for decades. Now when she meets someone new five years later it is called adultery. But I don't want my wife to put her life on hold for decades while she fights a legal battle.

She could always divorce you if you were in a PVS state and she met someone else.

You'd understand. Besides, if she still has love for you then you'd probably come out ahead because she and her new hubby would take care of you.
