(1) Not everyone agrees she is brain-dead. Some have said that she has shown reactions to things around her.

(2) We have only her husband's word that she once said she would not want to be kept alive by such means. She did not make out a "loving will" or otherwise make her wishes known to anyone else.

(3) Her husband stands to inherit a substantial amount if she dies. If he divorces her to marry the woman he is with now, he gets nothing. If she stays in a coma hooked up to machines for many more years (as is apparently possible), that money will be eaten up by her medical expenses.


Though I suppose that a web site which calls itself "morons.org" might not be expected to cover all sides of an issue with equal balance . . .
