Please cite the statute that allows a judge to forbid a person from being allowed oral food and hydration.
It was a civil case based up "preponderance of evidence". Probate judges interpret the wishes of those who can no longer speak for themselves all the time.

The statutes in 1999 were amended to allow refusal of artificial food and hydration based upon "clear and compelling evidence". But you haven't cited me any statute to allow the denial of oral food and hydration.
