I agree with all of the other posters who think the parents are being unbelievably selfish when they say she should be kept alive. She has been in a persistent vegetative state for 14 years!

And as for those who bash the husband for living with another woman with whom he has fathered kids... Do you guys realize that this has been 14 years? You all expect him to sit next to his essentially dead wife for 14 years? I understand this thing about the divorce, but maybe he doesn't want to divorce her...divorce means falling out of love, falling out of a relationship.

And about him just wanting the money... trust me guys, the money it's costing to keep this dead woman alive is a lot. I don't think you should ever MAKE someone live when it's fairly obvious that it won't do any good. Now THAT sounds like cruel and unusual punishment to me.
