But the person who probably knew her most intimately, the person she chose marry, is ultimately the person with whom these life or death decisions rest with.
Call me a cynic, but I personally feel her parents, who had known her for 20+ years before she went into the suspicious coma, knew her a hell lot better than her husband of a few years that quickly remarried and had two kids, and is looking to inherit half a million dollars upon her death. And considering one in every two marriages end in divorce, I dont know if I buy the idea that we all marry people who we wish to make life/death decisions for us.
As for Communion, he did try and refuse to allow her to receive Communion, but a priest came and gave her wine on her tongue (no bread though, coz she can't eat that). He is also moving to have her cremated (a big no-no for us Catholics) which is bugging the hell out of me.
