Yeah, we can't have people thinking they can make their own decisions about their own lives, now can we?

I didn't make that comment

With that said, I understand your point about the Living Will .. I have one myself, and only because my lawyer recommended it at the time I signed my Will

I can also understand that at times tough decisions have to be made and at times courts need to step in and make such hard decisions

What is at dispute, at least for me, is the way Judge Geer has handled this case. He refused to appoint Terry a independent Guardian .. he refuse to allow her any rehabilitation to see whether or not she could have any attempt at life or be able to feed herself

Bottom line is her rights have been denied by this Judge and court.

Yes, I know you didn't make that comment. My cut and paste skills need improvement I guess.:)

But my comment was directed to you. My parents actually requested their attorneys to draft their living wills.

I'm here to say not to rely on them. The best thing to do, especially with older people, is to talk to them about the subject in some detail before they become seriously ill.

You couldn't be more right.
