    - I've had experience with exercising that option. It makes things so much easier for the family if the wishes are documented in advance... - MojaveMeg Aug 16, 12:28
    - oops, it was supposed to say somewhere in there ^^^ that it's already difficult enough now without it being "evil" to talk about -- nm - dogbert183 Aug 16, 11:29
    - Oh, I'm certain it happens now. But it's going to get worse. - Reagen Aug 16, 11:29 1

It's now legal in Afghanistan for a man to starve his wife if she refuses to have sex with him. - CovingtonCat Aug 16, 11:03 3
