>His power of atty to act in behalf of his wife has been usurped. So much for living wills being valid if the state wants to interfere with private matters.<

First of all, this case does not revolve around a living will (there is none), and if you want to consider a person's abuse of his ward "private", you better darn well pray you never end up with Alzheimer's or MS, Bucky.

In addition, a person's spouse, in this country, is not a possession, and if my spouse shacks up and procreates with some little chickie while I'm incapacitated, I sure don't want him deciding whether I live or die.
