I have reported the headline as abuse.

Go get 'em tiger.

Rather didn't fabricate the memos -- he just repeated the lie.

Rookey dokey.

Give it a rest. Unlike NBC, FR is 90% re-posting of news stories that originate in the lying mainstream media. The idea is to re-post an article such as it is and discuss it, and point out the lies and distortions, both in the title, the subtitle, and the body. The way Summer dealt with the long subtitle dilemma was perhaps not the best, but he did not do anything egregious. Is it your habit to dog all Freepers who happen to post an article with a misleading title?

You were right to call attention to it once, but now you are plain trolling.

Okay [*]. To point out the lies, when they occur may be the most important, for lies only live in the telling and retelling.

And, I still think it is a crucial point, that a spouse's desires for a new spouse may alter the situation and necessitate a change of legal guardianship, while a parents' desire to care for their incapacitated adult child may be less likely to change, since they are not trading in this child for a new child.

Have you considered that if you pass this law, you are putting a Divorce of Damocles over every marriage? Where a woman has a choice of carrying out her husband's wishes (at risk of her in-laws fighting her) or not...which would she be inclined to do? Your law points the incentives away from respecting a patient's wishes, not toward it. Bad laws with incorrectly oriented incentives lead to bad outcomes and unexpected consequences...though in this case, I can take a stab at the consequences and they aren't pretty.

So...how about children, possibly wishing for inheritance? Do you allow them to send in the divorce stormtroopers?

not have the same legal right

True. And then add the insult - he was her guardian.
She had every right to file for divorce and even get an annulment since he, openly, was an adulterer. That's the reason greer kept him as guardian.

Yes, but I would forgive my husband if I were in a coma and he started another family.


What happened to....till death do we part?

Duh indeed!

"You're the one who did not acknowledge my point that a devoted spouse's willingness to care for an incapacitated spouse may change over the years. I thought that was a crucial point."

I believe that the Schindlers had her in their home about 10 years ago for a little while and found they could not handle the amount of care she needed - so they sent her back. I don't believe they have gotten any younger since then.
