So if a person signs a living will, says he/she does not want tubes, oxygen, etc. The tube is removed, oxygen is removed, the woman sits up in the hospital bed and says "I'm hungry"
Should food be brought to her?

I asked that question this morning. At least one judge has ruled "Tough. You aren't competent. Your earlier wishes rule" to a woman who had had a stroke.

Yes. I guess I don't really understand your question because it doesn't seem to apply to the current case.
