5. he wouldn't have to.

there'd be no controversy, since the family would have the full weight of the law on it's side, and michael would have bupkiss.

Without legal marriage, Michael would have had no rights whatsoever. Anyone remember Sharon Kowalski? Her story is one of the big reasons I fight like hell for full, legal marriage. And cases like hers are still occuring.

9. Then they wouldn't be married and Michael wouldn't even be allowed...

... in the hospital... So there wouldn't be an issue in the first place.
