John’s 82-year-old wife, Alice, is about to pass away in the next few weeks, and he has a difficult time caring for her end-of-life needs. He is angry she has chosen to spend her final days in a hospital rather than in the home where they have lived for 40 years. He is becoming uncooperative; when she asks his opinion, he will say, “It’s not as though anything I think matters.” Alice made a choice when she was in a good state of mind, and now that she is deteriorating, John keeps pestering her to change it. John believes that her illness isn’t as bad as the doctors claim. The stress of looking after her is also taking its toll on him; he has stopped eating most of his meals or showering due to a lack of energy. He spends most of the time sleeping when he isn’t at the hospital. Does Alice have the right to spend her final days in the location of her choosing?
