My mother is 91 and woe to anybody medical professional refusing her treatment.

Isn't this discrimination based on age?

Since when are doctors anotinting themselves w/the divine right of kings to decide when and how you die?

I'm upset.

I understand your bravado but rationally speaking what will you do about it? What can any of us do?
Stick guns in doctors faces?
That will get you arrested and then how can you help Mom from a jail cell?
Call the police?
What if they don't care, what if the law is on the doctor's side? We are already there.
What could the father of Terry Schivo do when you have 2 or 3 police in the room with you all the time for the sole purpose to preventing you from feeding your loved one?
You go in there guns blazing ?
When the police leave you bullet ridden corpse in the street what next? Now who takes care of Mom?
