Not true. The male “parent” never gets to weigh in on the matter legally. Only one “parent” gets to decide.
You think that isn’t true? Look at it when the “parents” disagree on when life begins and the outcome of that argument. See who wins that argument. Ain’t the guy.
So, I suppose that, when I am in my dotage and one of my daughters is appointed the conservator of my person, she, rather than science, will determine when my life ends.
