Sooo.. this morning on the way to work I heard an intersting News Story.. Man and woman are married.. Man 57 and Woman 54. Soo the woman had a stroke several years ago and has been in a coma and living in a home.. the Man goes to the Home and talks to her and moves her arms and legs to make sure they are exercise.. So the Hospital caught the man

I think his saving grace is the fact that they were already married. But doesn't it seem a form of perversion to have sex with someone unconscious? I don't think it should be a legal issue, but I think it's weird. I'd feel strange if I found out that Chris had sex with me if I was out cold. I'd be like, "What the hell, dude?"

well yeah it is kinda of wierd.. but they are married and like I said he is not out cheating on her. but not something I would be doing..

I think it probably depends on the nature of the relationship. Personally, if Charlie was left in that situation, I'd want him to get whatever comfort from me that he could derive. The husband has lost so much of his "normal life," I don't know if he could be blamed for trying to keep as much of that normalcy as he could get.

I think it's weird... but... I think they should wait and see what the wife says if/when she wakes up.

If she's ok with it, then it's ok.

If she's not, then it's rape.

As it is, since she is in a coma, he is her legal guardian. So he would have to be the one to press charges on himself.

That is my personal opinion.

well, it's weird, yeah, but she's been in a coma for several years. Years, man.
He obviously loves his wife very much, going to see her, talk to her, trying to exercise her limbs, that's a lotta love.
And, he loves her enough to be attracted to her, and want her, while she hasn't said a single word to him in years.
That's devotion, man. Not rape.
If he didn't know her from atom, just thought, well, there's a cutie, I'd hit that, who would know, THAT's rape.
Assuming they had sex before the stroke, and seeing as how they're married, I'd imagine so, hell, I think she'd be flattered. Gotta exercise those kegels, too, ya? :P

Weird yes. But it's not a crime to be weird. At least I hope it's not. What's the punishment for weirdness?

Rape? If you really want to get technical, silence is consent. They're married. According to her sister, she loved him. There's no indication that she would have said "no." Now if it's a stranger, presumably the unconscious party would say "no" if they could. So that would be a different situation (and what you'd have to prove in court).

Either way, since her kin are ok with it, it's none of my (or the state's) business.
