Actually I think we all pretty much agree, but I am not talking about "some" cases... I am talking about the woman I saw on FOX last night.... and for that husband, I am sure he knows were the parents stand.

I somewhat agree with you on that, but in some cases the husband might know
the wishes better than the parents. I do think he should talk it over with
them, listen to what they think, take it into consideration and then make
his decision.

Again.... I am not arguing... only pointing out that the parents should have a valid bitch. If I were the husband I wouldn't be able to say to the parents.... " No.... she has to die" If there were a living will that said she wanted to die under theses circumstances it might be different.

Then unfortunately, it's up to the husband to decide, whether his decision is right or wrong. When no living will is made, it is up to the next of kin. I don't have a living will, but have made my wishes known and still make them known to anyone who will listen.

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

my
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.
