How come this blatantly unconstitutional law hasn't been challenged in court? If I saw a story like this in a movie or a television episode the hospital officials involved would be wanting to kill him because they were afraid he had seen then doing something illegal and wanted to make sure he didn't remember what he saw.

This is the rabbit hole of “incompetence” determinations. It began with Terri, who couldn’t beg. Now it continues to this fellow, who CAN and DOES beg. How was it determined that the help here was impossible?

God is calling our hearts out for being seriously AWOL!!!

Remember when all the giddy voters voted to pass voluntary euthanasia? The commie ‘RATS have now taken it one step further. Euthanasia isn’t voluntary anymore.

I wonder if this is their poster?

What the hospital is doing is Hitlerian.

First they came for the disabled and no one did a thing cause they were seen as burdens

Next they’ll come for Christians cause they are haters

Then they’ll come for all who don’t fall in line with group think

Such is the Left.

The woman asking to become his guardian who initially informed his mother of the hospital's plan to kill this young man, is on LinkedIn.

Be sure and log out of LinkedIn before you look at her profile there as it keeps a record of you looking.

this story is fishy......it does not add up..

I suspect without it being said that this guy's condition is terminal and he doesn't have that long to live...

I suspect that after 2 months of charity care the hospital is at its wits end.....

extended care facilities or other hospitals are very reluctant I'm sure to accept this man's transfer due to the unrealistic demands of the mother....

and from other articles, not all the family agrees with the mother....

why does this man have a breathing tube down his throat, apparently thru his mouth?....long term ventilation patients usually get a trach...

it does not add up....

Methodist has invoked the statutory process found in the Texas Advanced Directives Act (TADA-Chapter 166.046 of the Health & Safety Code), which allows the hospital to override medical directives of a patient and provide only ten days’ notice before involuntarily withdrawing life-sustaining treatment.

For all the bleeding heart pro-lifers, who is going to pay for his care?

The mother’s attorney should contact a Catholic hospital to see if they will take him. Catholic hospitals are run by nuns and they take life seriously. My husband had cancer and we used a Catholic hospital. Their level of care for my husband was excellent. They also took care of me, taking me to their convent area in the hospital to eat with them in their private dining area. There is no way they would have wanted to kill anyone in that hospital no matter how sick he/she was.

...to stay alive and to now NOT? have Methodist Hospital remove...

Houston is lost. A Methodist hospital? I think we lost Texas without a shot fired. Too bad, I had it on the short list of places that are free.

Unconstitutional? Try murder! This story can’t be fully flushed out.
