re: Legal battle over right-to-life of Lafayette man in vegetative state

Eh idk you’re probably more likely to have that convo with a spouse than a parent. I feel like most spouses would be trustworthy enough to respect your wishes, or they could even defer the decision, it’s probably rare they would act vindictively. If so then it’s your own damn fault for fostering such a relationship and not leaving or making a living will.

Then there’s a chronicity kinda deal. Usually parents are dead before their offspring so that wouldn’t be super helpful unless the person is too young and likely won’t have a spouse or adult kids so it would be a parent.

Fwiw the order is legally appointed guardian ( in this case it’s the spouse she was appointed curator by a judge), the spouse, adult children, parent, adult siblings, grandparent/grandchild, friend.
