Before marriage it is your parents, but after marriage it is your spouse. Whenever there is a murder the spouse is the first suspect because they gain all your money, so then why do they get to make the decision to turn off your life support system?

I don't mean your husband was the one that caused you to be on life support, but he could choose to turn it off just to gain money and any assests.

You can decide who your Power of Attorney over medical decisions will be, it does not have to be your spouse. My parents were still married but did not live together and my dad legally arranged for me to be his POA. When he was near the end of life his doctors discussed his health issues with my brother and mom but would only accept the final decison from me and I had to sign for it.

Religiously speaking nobody had the right to turn off life support system.... last feb. of 2007 our family experienced that situation when my mother in law had a coma. it was fatal and sad to say the doctor said that her coma was just nearly or almost to death.... many apparatus connected to her body... im so depressed seing her lying in that hospital bed the doctor said that the apparatus connected to her was the one bringing her to breath... artificial breath in fact. There are many reasons why somebody suffered that situations but if we look on the positive side we can come up to a decision for our beloved one. I just hope and pray that soon your family will find answers regarding this matter.. just hold opn to the lord he'll provide you answers.. god bless

that's not ordinary. If the guy isn't able to choose from theirself then we are compelled to play God. Kill em'-that's enjoying God. do no longer do something-actual permitting them to stay=enjoying God aswell. So the two way you're making a decision. The circumstances are the main obligatory ingredient. those circumstances won't be able to have a confident/no for each and each time this occurs. the two way you're enjoying God. decide who has the superb. This individual ought to choose what they think of is superb. it relatively is the respond and likewise the shortcoming of an answer-by using fact there is not any longer a definate one.

that's a tough one, and it would probably vary. so, for the sake of argument, we'll say you were murdered. it looks suspicious on your husband. your parents think he did it, the cops are looking at him, and he's ready to pull the plug. your parents can seek an injunction by the courts to allow you to remain on life support. look at Terri Shaivo. how long did her parents fight her husband in court to keep her alive? generally, if your husband didn't do it, he would vote to keep you on life support to see if you improved. and if the cops found enough evidence to "prove" he was trying to kill you, he would be arrested and in no position to make the choice anyway. generally, suspects are ruled out in a timely manner, and if you were put on life support, you would remain there for a couple of days. they would keep him so booked up with questions that he wouldn't have time to make the decision. if he was in jail, the decision would rest with your next of kin, children if you had any of age and responsibility to make that choice or your parents. (if you think your husband is trying to kill you, you might want to think about getting a Power of Attorney drawn up so you can decide who gets that choice.)

innocent until proven guilty. It sucks sometimes, but that's the way it has to be. Remember that Terry girl? I cried for days when they finally took her off. And her husband already had a girlfriend and was spending money. Red flags going off there. But you can take it to court, buy some time.

Until they are found guilty or there is some proof that they were responsible for their death...they have the right to decide if life support should be terminated.

IF you are legally married that spouse has that right. Parents have no control of they own children once they have been married.
