Again, irrelevant as regards to my point. If she had filled out a Living Will beforehand, none of this mess would have been necessary

You are right, she didn't and the Judge made a decision on hear say from her husband and nothing else.

What is relevent is that fact that this Judge refused to appoint her a Guardian Ad Litem to represent Terry's rights

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

Living wills are vastly overrated as a means of determining what treatment options to pursue for many patients. The standard terminology used in them is "no extraordinary means." Let me tell you from personal experience that in many cases involving severe illness, determining exactly what constitutes "extraordinary means" can be excrutiatingly difficult.

You have no proof of that assertion.

Then take it up with the judge, not me.
