But what I don't understand is that the ability to make these sorts of next-of-kin decisions is one of the government-mandated responsibilities/benefits of legal marriage. And now the government is taking one of the responsibilities away. Whatever happened to protecting the sanctity of marriage?
According to the law, it's the husband's decision, plain and simple, when there is no living will. That's just the way it is.
