This is a legal question that I've been thinking about because of this:
When one gets married, doesn't that usually mean that one's spouse is granted Power-of-Attorney in the event of something like this?
I've been wondering, because if so, then it would seem to me that her parents don't legally have an argument for keeping her alive other than it would hurt their feelings and their opinion wouldn't legally matter in whether to keep her feeding tube in or not.
As to my opinion on it--Kids, I don't think she's snapping out of it any time soon. Really, what's the point of being alive if you don't even know that you are? Let the woman go. If the good Lord decides to call her home, that's between Him and her, not her and her husband and her parents and the Bushes and the courts and everybody else.
/is against life-support machines except in the short-term cases 'cause then you wind up with situations like this one
