Absent informed and written consent, life and death decisions should NEVER be made by unelected, unaccountable judges. Never.

Hearsay evidence from husbands or others who may or may not have the other persons best interests at heart just don't cut it. At least it shouldn't. Think of the possibilities:

'Uh Judge, to be honest with you I tried to kill her, but now she's only in a coma. But I can get my sister and friend to swear that she said that if the time ever came where ahe was in a coma she would rather starve and die of thirst.'

If it were my daughter she would have been out of hospice a long time ago.

Your comments would be true if and only if you believed what I copied and pasted above.

What if the husband was believed to be truthful.

Would you allow him to make that decision then?

And BTW, where are the statements of defense against these personal attacks he has been taking? I looked for some archived stuff and all I could find were more character attacks and repeats of the same which all stemmed from the other side of this issue.

This is so, so one sided.
