Though the living will stated King's opposition to a feeding tube in the event of permanent unconsciousness, it also named Ann King as her husband's surrogate, with the power to carry out his wishes if he is "unable or incompetent to make or express a decision."

End of story.

Wife's wishes.

Funny how in Schiavo case anything the husband says goes. In this case spouse is ignored.

Common denominator: starve people.

The difference is in the written legal document. You have to go with that. There is no way to determine his wishes otherwise.
