Hey Martin,

   Just a question for you...food for thought...

   Suppose something horrible happened to your wife and she was on life support. Let's say that you and she had a private conversation where she told you that she would want to stay on life support, no matter what. You agreed and promised to never take the life support away from her.

    Enter her parents with an entirely different viewpoint. They want the plug pulled. They don't believe in life support or some version of that song.

    As her husband, don't you think you should be granted the right to make that decision for your wife, the one who you spoke with and KNEW what she wanted?

   I know that you think there was foul play involved with Terri Schiavo and maybe there was, I don't know. I just wonder sometimes what folks would do if they were put into that situation. Would you honor your wife's wishes or let her family take over?

I think it's a tough call and I don't envy any of them. I wonder if Terri could hear the bickering and the fighting and the hatred that was/is going on and what her feelings were. I think it's a tragedy for everyone involved.
