303. Thank you, that is exactly my point!
MS has the right to go on with his life, no question, but he does NOT have the right to determine life or death for anyone else, including his PVS wife. He ceased being her husband years ago; why he can't simply just sign her care over to her parents and be done with it is beyond me. That is what makes me so suspicious of his motives. And you're right, right after the settlement was reached he suddenly did a 180-degree turn.

And the attitude here that she's "just" a PVS and therefore is no longer worthy as a person is truly disturbing. The first step to getting rid of an entire group of people is to dehumanize them and make them seem less "worthy" because they can't do the things a "normal" human is able to do.
