I don't like the term. I think when you do things out of love they can have unintended bad consequences, but it's hard for me to call them "wrong". My mother disobeyed my father when he was dying of his heart attack and stroke- at one point he asked her to let him die, and she could not do it. She asked for another procedure. Was that wrong? If he had lived (and he could have) it would have been a wonderful thing for us. So I'm not going to say there is a right or wrong in these things. When you put a burden like that upon the people you love, I think you need to realize that out of love they may not always obey you. If you want mechanistic obedience hire a lawyer to put you down. Chances are they will obey your instructions to the letter. Is that "right"? I can't say.

This has been a really interesting discussion though!
