Issues such as this should be resolved before marriage or soon after. I am married to a believer and we both agree exactly the same on this .And our daughter also was made aware of our wishes - we both agree with the principles of the great Dr Kevorkian .Ones life should end when one wants it to and this includes assistance if necessary.

What a cruel woman! She's horrible.

This is exactly why I would never marry a believer. Untrustworthy. Their god beliefs make them think they know better than anyone else what's best for others. FTS!

Yet another reason to get or stay single!

His wife is a very selfish person. Another self-righteous ‘Only I know what’s best for you’. I at least hope the courts will respect his wishes, even when the ones closest to him won’t.

This kind of "well-meaning" interference by clueless family members reminds me of Paul Newman's line from Cool Hand Luke, one of my fav classics. "I wish you'd quite being so good to me, Captain"..

BITCH!

If it were not so tragic it would be hilarious.

This is why religious/atheist mixed marriages are such a disaster. So much for 'love'. A book I recently read said that 70% of dying patients are talked out of letting their lives end by their 'loving' families. What a load of crap! It is about being totally selfish. This sort of thing just burns me up.

When my late partner was dying her brother and sister-in-law got an expensive and special visa to come from Vancouver BC to Lopez (they are Iranian). The stupid sister-in-law couldn't stop crying and the brother kept criticizing her use of this states Death with Dignity program. Even though she lost her ability to speak in less than 2 days she pointed to them and then the door (get out). Before crossing the border they kept calling and asking if 'she' had changed their mind. Some people just don't get it.

That would be grounds for divorce right there. It is sad how controlling some religious people can be in a relationship. One reason I left my own marriage.

That is a horrific betrayal.

I really hope the Appeals Court upholds the original judgement that his Medically Assisted Death is legal and that the wife and her religious cohorts have no grounds on which to challenge his competency to have made this decision to end his life. The arrogance of these right wing religionists is breathtaking. First they spend years campaigning to prevent such humanitarian rights becoming legal, and then when that battle is lost and it becomes lawful to put in place an assisted dying package and all the criteria are met, they can’t leave it at that but challenge the sanity and competency of the person to make the decision. Yes...it’s vitally important that the Appeal Court upholds the decision and strikes down this attempt to frustrate this man’s wishes, because case precedent is important in law, especially in the testing of new laws.

None of anyones business if he wants to die.

I would probably go the divorce route and then come up with a new will to make sure she gets bupkiss.

On one hand this seems cruel. On the other, some yet to be known other man is spared her 'love' for awhile and maybe if he's lucky, the delay will result in her finding yet another man instead. Better yet, the delay might result in the husband out-living her; a real win:win!

Very sad indeed! Wife seems not to care about what her husband’s wishes are...and worse...that he could suffer and might be sedated and on a ventilator because of the pain. Why would she want that for her ‘beloved’ husband? I would not want that for myself!

This is why it is not OK to simply believe what one wants to believe, or what one feels comfortable with, with casual or little regard for actual truth or fact. This is why reason should always be a part of searching for truth.

Absolutely disgusting

File for divorce...dump her.

That's legal in Canada? Dr Kevorkian went to prison in Detroit.
