DALLAS A mother fighting to keep her baby on life support, despite a hospital's determination that her efforts would be futile, will get two more weeks to find a facility that will take the 10-month-old. A judge had been set to decide tomorrow whether to grant a temporary injunction to stop Children's Medical Center in Dallas from removing Daniel Wayne Cullen the Second from life support. But attorneys for the boy's mother and the hospital agreed yesterday to extend a temporary restraining order for another two weeks.

You yourself INSISTED on citing the wrong interview over and over and over and writing indignant posts about the quotation not being in that interview. Well, of course it wasn't. You "discovered" the wrong bloody interview.
A text search takes only seconds. When you found out that the quotation wasn't there, it should have told you something... like, "Uh oh, this isn't the right one."
No, I didn't. I just commented that you hadn't summoned the character to make one.
Why? So you can set me up again? So you can claim that I got it wrong? So we can turn this thread into a "poor T'wit is being picked on"?
You made the claim. You back it up (if you can) or withdraw it.
If I had known there was more than one interview, yes, this would have been my first thought. I believe I already told you that I didn't know this. So how could I think that?
You're not real smart, are you?
Well, bless my heart, RP, I don't believe you could have.
If this is any bother, please skip it with my apologies.
It is both. Artificial nutrition and hydration (ANH), whether delivered by the mechanism of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), or another mechanism (such as a nasogastric (NG) tube) is a "life-prolonging procedure" under Florida law, (see F.S. Chapter 765, Section 765.101(10)).
Thank you so much! That's just the info I was after. (Either Google or I wasn't up to the search. I did try :-) )
