His wife's Mother-in-law

"That machine over there, the ventilator as we call it, is the one that is breathing for him. It delivers air through the tube that you can see in his mouth. The situation,as we have been telling you for a while, is grave. His underlying disease has eaten him. He won’t come back. To be frank, there’s not even a ‘he’, it’s just a body with a couple of organs left alive. Isn’t it wise to gift him a death with dignity? Shan’t we disconnect the ventilator?"

His Mom: “Doc. It’s a joint account that my son shares with his wife. The marriage is still young. I want every paisa from it to be spent on him. So don’t.”
