Legal Murder Foiled

[FNH]

After his accident Jesse Ramirez Jr was in hospital undergoing life support procedures.  His wife told doctors to stop feeding and hydrating him (that's the legal murder bit).  His other family members took the issue to court.

18 days after she tells the doctors to do it, later he wakes up ( and thats the foiled bit ).

Moral implications here? 

A couple of links for you...

Uh oh. 

Does The Second Rule apply to this?

[Mr. Tweedy]

Much as I'd love to tackle the moral implications, I think it probably does.   

Which is unfortunate.

I didn't see anything about a living will.  Did he have one?

Yea.... lets not get into this... its just begging to become a fist fight.

Clarification: I hold nothing against FNH for making this thread.  I believe it would be an interesting discussion, and I understand that FNH didn't intend any malice by making this thread, but I feel like this will just result in a big argument, and it would be better if we just left this issue alone.
