9. Please allow me to ask a few questions:
1. Even if you feel uncertain about what her wishes were, why is your default position that she be kept alive as she is?

This seems to be a common stance: if you don't know, keep her alive on life support.

Doesn't that assume being kept alive this way is preferable to being allowed to pass on?

2. As a Christian do you not have scripturally based beliefs on husband and wife becoming one, and does that not extend to a spousal right to act as the voice for the incapacitated spouse?

3. When you say "the forced starvation" do you also note that she is currently being force FED?
