You're missing my point. The court would have never decided so if that hadn't been the wishes of the legal guardian. The state didn't just out of the blue say "Let's kill that woman in that hospice over there." This situation doesn't equate to anything in the ciminal justice system.
I would call it overrreacting, but I don't think you can do that when someone's life is on the line. Just say that in their desperation people are grasping for straws that have no legal basis in this case.
DO courts expand on precedent or contract?
No reply necessary, it's rhetorical.
