The only business the government should take in this matter is changing the law so a divorce can occur when there's an incapacitated spouse unable to sign forms or be capable of informed consent.
Parents can "abandon" or put up for adoption their children to a legal party, including the state. Husbands/wives do not have that option. We should allow it for these types of cases.
Then, the parents would take guardianship/custody back, and all would get what they want.
So then, using that logic, why get married? "For better or WORSE was in my vows, until DEATH do us part." Not, "my family, will take me off of your hands if I am incapacitated, etc."
Michael may very well be a scumbag, probably is, but he is the NOK and when you start to tamper with that, other things WILL follow. Where do you draw the line THEN?
"The only business the government should take in this matter is changing the law so a divorce can occur when there's an incapacitated spouse unable to sign forms or be capable of informed consent."
I have wondered about this. Does the law prevent a spouse from divorcing their wife/husband if the wife/husband is incapacitated?
