That's what my husband is afraid would happen in my case. He knows my wishes
but I constantly have to make them known to my family b/c they are the type
that would come in and try to overrule his decision, which is actually my
decision.

 To me part of being married is getting along with the spouses family... or
at least having some respect.

<<Charles>>  This I agree with.  I think that the husband and the parents
should be able to come to an agreement.

I can not see over ruling the woman's parents on this matter.
I think it is in very poor taste and quite cruel... JMO.

<<Charles>>  I can see over ruling the parents.  Because the husband is the
next of kin.  As I stated before, if my wife made the hard decision to take
me off life support there is no way I would want my mother to be able to
come and reverse that decision.  When I got married I left her house for
good, and my wife became my closest relative.  While I agree with you that
the husband should take their feelings into account, the decision must
always remain with the spouse.
