Is Sandra Day O’Connor’s Husband’s New Love A Good Thing?

Sandra Day O’ConnorRetired Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s husband has found love from another resident at his assisted living facility in Phoenix Arizona. O’Connor left her position on the Supreme court in 2005 to take care of her husband, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

This is obviously a woman who cares very much for her husband, and yet she is not upset about his new arrangement. Different people react differently to situations such as this. O’Connor is a very intelligent woman and probably has a great understanding of what this disease does to people. It is probably difficult for her to see her husband with another woman, but at the same time she is probably just happy to see him in such an improved state of mind.

It does bring up several questions:

1) Is it OK for Alzheimers patients to do things that are normally not acceptible?

2) Is this really infedility?

3) Is this something that should be encouraged for Alzheimer’s patients?
