That doesn't discount anything I said. I wasn't disputing she got Easter Communion and last rites, but said they were different from viaticum. Her priest should have been able to have daily visits with her as she was dying. Nor does it mention the way in which she received the Eucharist from her priest. Her brother was talking about being "assisted" by the hospice chaplain with (I think) Sean Hannity. However, MS "granting" her communion on Easter hardly qualifies as being able to practice her religion freely.

I'm familiar with viaticum, thanks. Nevertheless, it's a nonstarter from a legal standpoint - her husband is plainly empowered to make those decisions on her behalf.
