So she couldn't call the shot on her own DEATH by simply talking to her husband before her demise. But 15 years after her death she can DIVORCE him? That's something even the hillbillies would have trouble swallowing...

Destroying traditional marriage: Re: "But, we all know that is a marraige in NAME ONLY." What we "all know" is infotainment crap. The man was legally married to this woman when the medical tragedy happened, and he remains legally married to her now. (As for his finding companionship with another, after many years of being deprived of his wive's company... who among us can fault him?) "Were Terri in possession of all her abilities she would divorce him" Idle speculation, and legally immaterial. Re: "All things considered, shouldn't her parents have the right to intervene?" Only if you CHANGE 500+ years of common law about MARRIAGE! If you want to over-ride the established law giving married couples the right to make decisions for the benefit of each other --- and insert some kind of made-up rule saying that parents can OVER-RIDE decisions of a married couple, then it's a WHOLE NEW BALL GAME! You would have just succeeded in destroying traditional marriage as it has been known for many hundreds, maybe thousands, of years!
