Lets not forget that this woman did *not* have a living will...

decision.

To me part of being married is getting along with the spouses family... or
at least having some respect.
<<Charles>> This I agree with. I think that the husband and the parents
should be able to come to an agreement.
I can not see over ruling the woman's parents on this matter. I think it is in very poor taste and quite cruel... JMO.
<<Charles>> I can see over ruling the parents. Because the husband is the
next of kin. As I stated before, if my wife made the hard decision to take
me off life support there is no way I would want my mother to be able to
come and reverse that decision. When I got married I left her house for
good, and my wife became my closest relative. While I agree with you that
the husband should take their feelings into account, the decision must
always remain with the spouse.
