Who is her husband to decide if she should live or die? The part that really gets me is that her parents say she smiles, laughs and tries to talk. How can you take the life of a human being knowing they can somewhat communicate? I could see if she was in a coma and never coming out of it, but she is alert for christ sakes! She's been in this vegatative state for 15 years, why pull her feeding tube now? If its against what she told him prior to this incident, its already gone on too long, why not continue? People have offered this man a million dollars to let her parents assume care/responsibility for her and he denied it. Why would anyone want to pull life from their significant other, other than money and cruelty?
Sure her life is being sustained by artifical means, but there was no written documentation that this woman did not want CPR or recesitative means. In Ems, If the patient doesnt have papers signed by them and their doctor saying "no cpr" we are required by law to perform CPR even if the family says no. So where does this man get off saying pull her tube its not what she wanted, and the court can say ok? Isnt that a double standard?
I hope her family wins and assumes care of her, and I hope he rots in hell. He should be charged with attempted murder because thats what he's essentially doing- taking someone elses life.
