The law really does forbid substituted judgment. Look it up.

I am not the one promoting the nanny state. You are the one advocating the government deciding that some lives are not worth living.

I am saying the immediate family (not the extended family) should decide. The government's role should be only in determining who is "immediate family."

As it did, properly, in this case.

Not sure what I should look up. If you are brain-dead and there is no "substituted judgment" then who is allowed to make decisions on your behalf?
