Did someone say he's got another gal now? Well I'd hope that if I vegged out and died that my wife would allow herself to be happy enough to find another guy. I'm not so selfish. To think that he shouldn't be happy just because she's [practically] dead is a very primitive way of thinking.
Why do people value the human body so much when it's in a condition like that? So what if it even is partially if not wholey about money? Why shouldn't it be? She's dead.
And he knows his wife 50,000 times better than her parents do. Parents only know anything about their children until they turn about 13 years old. After that, the parents become supportive aliens. That's NATURAL. It's the way life works.
This is no place for the court, and I bet they're waiting on making a judgement so that she might actually die before they have to!
