Sorry, I disagree. My wife and I both agreed not to let the other suffer by prolonging our lives when faced with hopeless recovery. I fulfilled that agreement by signing a DNR order and when I insisted she not be revived when she died despite my in-laws were demanding it. To this day, they still hate me and blame me for her death even though cervical cancer isn't my fault.

cervical cancer usually is caused by venereal spread of human pappiloma virus

I understand the pain you went through (and which apparently continues via your inlaws), and you have my sympathy and condolences for what you went through. But surely you see the huge difference between the case of a DNR on your wife, who was dying, and an order to deny sustenance to a woman who may otherwise live for another 20 years.

If MS had disclosed his wife's wishes to die before he got a large settlement to prvide for therapy etc., instead of suddenly remember ing it later, he would have a much better case.
