That's an interesting scenario. I do believe the spouse should be given first guardianship in most cases. So it's all about "life at all costs," not respect for the individual's wishes or sanctity of marriage, huh?

"So it's all about "life at all costs," not respect for the individual's wishes or sanctity of marriage, huh?" Didn't you read what I said??? I said the spouse should be given guardianship in most cases. What is your problem? And why did you not answer my previous post to you about respecting my right to life as I respect your right to die, huh?

The
sancity of of marriage is not just some "privacy emanation and perumbra". It is an inalienable divine facet of the contract between a man and a woman. It is the root of the marriage.
Yet some sancity is even greater than that marriage sancity -- the sancity of life itself being one of those few. You may not take a life, you may not contract to have your own destroyed, taken from you.
Don't pervert what the term "sancity" means.
