Without ever meeting the guy, you've determined that he is untrustworthy at best and more likley, a monster. What the hell is wrong with all these judges that they can't see this guy is clearly CREEPY.

if her Parents want to resume care for her, they should have the ability to fight for that, and pursue the same options available to their daughter for the past ten years or whatever it's been. I mean, the truth is he wouldn't have ever even put her on life support AT ALL if her wishes were so strong.

They certainly do that have that right, and they've excercised it for nearly a decade. Your second point compeletely lost me. He wouldn't have put her on life support before he knew the extent of the damage, before years of failed therapy and treatment?? No one is saying she would have rather died than recieve ANY medical treatment. They are saying she would not have wanted her body to be kept alive indefinitely after her brain had turned to mush.

Edit: Why is it a negative thing that our nation has taken up this story? Aren't these issues more important then who stole Paris Hilton's password ?

It's not especially negative, but it is certainly morbid. As much as some of us want to look away, we can't help coming back to it, it strikes that strong a personal chord. This is someone's most private affair, and here we are debating like we know what this woman that none of us have met would have wanted. We are imagining ourselves and our own loved ones in this horrible position. Hopefully, some good will come of all this.
