Recently the hospital handed Dunns mother, Evelyn Kelly, a notice invoking the 1999 Texas Advance Directives Act (TADA) which allows a hospital to arbitrarily ignore the patients desires and take actions that can result in the patients death.

Yep. This is where whatever you sign they just throw it in a drawer and ignore your wishes.

Questions should be asked very loudly who passed this act and which governor signed it. It is very difficult for me to understand why pro-life organizations are not more vocal about this kind of legislation. It should be easy to pass medical legislation that respects life, at least in conservative states, of which Texas seems to be one. And unlike abortion legislation, such legislation should be safe from activist judges.
