family s wishes and what her family says were her wishes. erik munoz says as paramedics it was a conversation he and marlise had often. we ve seen things out in the field. and we both knew that we didn t want to be on life support. but hospital refuses to unplug the ventilator because marlise is pregnant. texas is one of about 30 states that restricts a woman s ability to be disconnected from life support if she s pregnant, regardless of the patient or family s directive. weave vave we reached a poi where you wish your wife s body would stop. the family files a lawsuit demanding marlise be immediately disconnected and her body turned over to them for proper burial. the case sparks a debate over end of life decisions. we don t want the hospital or the court if it does go to court there is a child involved. tom mayo ace law professor at
