I think I can understand his wishing to end this.

I hope I never do understand.
I think the only issue is she should not have made the bad judgement to have married the guy in the first place or she should have had the good judgement to have written a living will -especially if her husband is truly as evil as her parents say he is. Once you're married, though, - unless you've gone to the trouble to right a will - a spouse is responsible for you in life and death situations and I really don't see what NEW legal rights the parents should be given.

I am going out on a limb here, but it's seems like those that want the courts to step in would be the same ones that would complain about "activist judges".
