You can call them "one flesh," but what you have described is owner and property.

My wife and I trust each other to make these decisions for each other. Does that mean we are each other's property?

A marriage license is not a permit to kill. If one spouse becomes incapacitated and must rely on the other spouse, that doesn't mean that the stronger spouse now owns the disabled spouse. It doesn't work that way.
