The two biggest factor here that they brought out in court is this:
1. She has been this way for over 10 years. If she was going to recover, you think it would have happened by now. I think 10 years is more than enough time to show SOME improvement.
2. No one in the history of the world with her condition has ever recovered. There have been similar cases, but with the amount of brain injury she has, NO ONE has ever recovered.
And most importantly, I think a husband or wife should have more say so than the parents legally. In a similar situation, I think most woul like to think your soul mate can make the call, the person who you share your home, bed, and life with rather than the 'rents.
And for those who think the man is doing it for the money, medical history shows it was an accident, nothing more. Had he some way been implicated in the injury I'd say he might have alterior motives, but there has never been that accusation.
Sorta off topic, but does anyone else see the irony in a country that is seeing hundreds die in a war every month, killing people monthly in prisons, and giving police the right to shoot first in some states, then spending millions of dollars and hundreds of congressional man hours in fighting for the life of a vegetable? I mean, they didn't put this much work into the patriot act or the repealing of the clean air act.
