re: #412 Targetpractice

I think odds are greater that the busy-bodies are doing this for no other reason than because they’re afraid of legal retribution if it gets to authorities that they pulled the plug. Let the family pay the court costs to challenge the case rather than be the ones responsible for explaining to a court why they made the decision to fulfill the husband’s wishes in what their legal department views as a violation of state law.

Quoted for Truth. Bad as this decision likely is, its not being made by fanatics; It’s being made by lawyers who have calculated that a lawsuit filed by the husband is of less risk to the hospital than the risk of being found in violation of state law.
