Perhaps you can tell who does not want treatment by reading their mind? You are a psychic maybe?

When it comes to my wife, I don't need to read her mind (good thing, because she and I both know that I certainly can't). I have the legal right to infer what she would want in such circumstances, based on our private relationship.

The state should keep its grubby paws out of that relationship - they have no right to interfere with family medical decisions. If you don't want your spouse making such decisions on your behalf, that's easy enough to arrange.

No you don't... marriage is a public act and that idiot was with another woman anyway... no more relationship...

The marriage license already let them into it... and you signed it...

Parents and siblings are blood family... spouses are not...

Child neglect and spousal abuse are crimes...
