Maybe it's just me, but I can't call that conservative.
Until this case, most people TOLD their spouses what they wanted. My older brother told me what he wanted if he was a "vegetable." I need it in writing now to satisfy YOU?
You or the Gummit have no say over Schaivo, me or my older brother.
But I have my wishes in writing with my lawyer. But that is to make sure busybodies like you don't stick your nose in where it isn't wanted, needed or legally required.
But I do understand your reverence of live over law. If you lead with your heart, your brain will generally suffer.
