A legal case involving the potential euthanasia of a Lafayette man in a vegetative state is gaining national attention.
spouse supersedes parents as a medical proxy. unless he had a living will, or theres some potential crime being committed by the wife for withdrawal of care She will be ultimately successful. unless if the husband is able to express his wishes somehow which does not seem to be the case.

In March of 2018 they filed for divorce. After his injury she canceled the divorce without his knowledge or consent. Not only is a conflict of interest for her to be his guardian because she has a pending wrongful death lawsuit and stands to gain financially in his death, she has also collected thousands of dollars from dozens of fundraisers for his hyperbaric oxygen treatments but instead of getting him the treatments she took the money and went on vacations with her girlfriend. She has not acted in his best interest and has most definitely committed a crime

This is such a terrible principle and can be proven so with a simple thought experiment:
Try to count how many people you are confident are in loving trusting marriages and compare that to the number of people you are confident have at least one trustworthy loving parent.
Obviously the workaround is having a living will, but just by the numbers it’s clear the default hierarchy should put parents over spouse. Probably siblings too.
