What if the husband stands to get $1million upon wifes death and he already has kids with another woman? I'd say there is a conflict in interest there.

There's a court case on this one. It's being investigated. If you can find evidence of such a thing, then post it. Otherwise, don't bring me this crap. If the family wants her left on life-support, are they going to ruin themselves financially to do so? Or is the husband expected to do so on their wishes? Or is the taxpayer footing the bill for her continued care? Not every husband who agrees with the doctors to take his wife off life-support is an opportunist or a murderer. There comes a time when you have to let them go.

Now, I'm not saying that there isn't problems in this case, as I have no idea. As above, now that there's a court case, it will be investigated. This knee-jerk reaction anytime this happens that automatically vilifies the husband is wrong.

We can not sit back and play the what if game or demand a certain outcome because of the way we “feel, or what we “Believe.”
We are a nation of laws and the rule of law must prevail. If you don't like the laws then work to change them but don't rake this man over the coals because you think God is telling you what to say or because your socialist moral outrage is making you stupid.
I'm about as far right as one can get and not be labeled a kook but my personal position is not based on religion. All conservatives are not drooling bible thumpers as the left would like you to believe. As long as this man stays between the lines of the applicable laws then he has a right to make his own decisions as he sees fit. The government and a bunch of do gooder strangers need to leave him alone and stay out of it. This man is faced with an impossible decision we must accept the fact that he knows as much about the total situation as anyone on this earth. He is also the one person who has any law supported legal say in this matter.
