you think people should never be allowed to remove life support

She was not on life support. If she was, I wouldn't have had a problem. Life support is oxygen or a machine that keeps the heart beating. Giving someone food and water is NOT considered life support in my view.

or create living wills.

I never said that...in fact I encouraged you to put your wishes in writing, so quit putting words in my mouth.

My point is that the marriage contract should assume the medical proxy contract.

My point is that MS broke the marriage contract by committing adultery, so in the eyes of the Lord, there was no marriage covenant between him and Terri, only a certificate issued by the State that was more worthless than the paper it was written on, hence the skepticism of his motives.

Even if you are completely 100% brain dead.

I am beginning to think you have already reached that point as you are totally incapable of basic comprehension. No dinner for you tonight buddy...

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.
