"Further, there is no claim or mention that anyone tried to starve her to death."
According to her husband the doctors tried to. He had to threaten to take the doctors to court to get them to back off.
First, you say there is no claim or mention that anyone tried to starve her to death, then in the next post to me you say you saw the interview where the husband claimed just that. Why did you post something you knew not to be true?
Each state is different and doctors will often have the ability to overrule family members. I believe her husband.
The doctors denied my father medical help abitrarily over the objections of our family. His chest cavity would fill up with fluids and they would drain the chest. One time however, they were going to let him die in this painful manner over our objections. It was like drowning slowly. He was in so much pain. I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy. We had to make a scene before the doctors relented and drained his chest.
