Quote:EM, one problem there. A person needing medical attention isn't going to be forced to sleep on the floor because of her. I don't think there's a bed shortage in America today... I mean, heaven has a chair shortage, but that's about it.
While I agree with EM, I have to admit, you have a point. All she needed for survival was a feeding tube. The parents could have easily taken care of her in their own homes.
On the other hand, I believe that the marital bond between a man and a woman should override that of either spouse's parents. This should be a set rule, because no jury should be the one to decide which party loves Terry more and knows what's best for her. Michael seems like, and could very well be, a scum bag who's only after the wealth his wife has bequeathed him. I feel it's his right as a husband, though, to retain custody of his wife.
I would feel the same way if the situation were reversed, and the husband wanted to keep her alive, while the parents wished to let her go. It just so happens that I agree with the husband - she's lived long enough as a vegetable, and it's time for her, along with everyone else, to move on.
