"If the new law existed, and the parents were filing, and the new law gave parents legal guardianship "

OK, so we STILL have the court deciding on the divorce, or is that automatic also ?
Are parents automatically fit guardians ?

Do the parents become the benificiary of half of the marriage assests because of the divorce ? Do they get to keep these assets even if THEY turn around and decide to have the patient taken off life support ?

You may want to consider also that you are NOT restoring some "right" to the patient as a patient with no parents would not have this "right".

What you ARE doing is creating a new "right" for parents to interfere IF they wish in a marriage.

OK. You win. Now, explain to me why you didn't stop the zillions of threads on this matter, as it was happening. with your argument above? Because that's the actual basis of everyone's argument -- that a "right" should have existed for those parents. But, here you are now, and yet you could have stopped all those threads way back when! Where were you??

Good night. :)
