Man, that comment shows a lack of understanding of the legal principles involved in this case. I understand why though, the media is awash with misleading Q&A, polls; and much of the discussion takes a priori, as fact, that the law automatically gives a spouse the right to deny medical care that would kill his better half.
Totally agree. Better not get married if one comment 15 years ago about a situation that is not necessairly the one you are in gets you killed. Scary.
