I'm not a lawyer, but I see a different meaning in Mae's Living Will. (Page 31 WND copy)

Scroll back to my post #2212. I was questioning the intent according to the wording and how Mae marked it. The way I'm reading it....she authorizing them to 'PROVIDE' it, not deny it in the event she is in a coma or PVS. I'd be interested to have other opinions

The heck with "authorizing" the provision of nutrition and hydration. She is ORDERING IT. She is DEMANDING it.

Also, Ken's use of "in a coma" may have been colloquial or lazy talk. It may be that his mom was sedated and not terribly responsive. The medical treatment that permits the dissection to heal likely requires a person to be fairly still. And/or, Ken's mom may not have been "caught" at the same time in the progression of the dissection.

It's too bad that Gaddy is such a pucker-butt that she won't communicate.

I'll take another look at the living will and post it here.
