I think he loves who she was and sees the body as a re-animated corpse - at least that's what I'd think. But whatever the case, that's irrelevant. To make a decision, he needs to remember who she was and how she felt about things. If either she told him she didn't want to live in a PVS, or if he even speculates that she would've felt that way, then he's justified. It's his call; he's the guardian. Typically in these cases I think those that want the body alive want it more for them than for the person. To answer your questions: The evidence I've seen that he loved his wife is: 1.) He flew her around the country for years looking for treatments, 2.) He badgered care staff on her behalf, and 3.) He seems to be fighting for her wishes now (I don't see any other possible motive supported by consistent facts and any sane person that's willing to go through decades of legal cases and be publically skewered has a hell of a reason.) The g-ma events happened after the Schiavo case started and my position hasn't changed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:153264 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
