Right now it seems to me that the core is what her wishes were. The default at this point, since it has been so ruled and affirmed many times, is that her wishes were to not live this way. If you operate from that basis, then the courts would be depriving her of her rights if they restored the feeding tube. What needs to be studied de novo is whether that ruling about her wishes is correct and to buy enough time to study that, you'd have to deprive her of her rights as they now stand. Catch-22. That is probably the best summary of where we are at. I have not followed this case at all, but what you say sounds right to me. But, I don't see the Catch 22. What is the rush to pull the plug immediately? Find out what her intentions were. If it is unclear, she lives. What's the big controversy?
