"What I want to know is, how come the drs could override the husband's wishes in her case and remove the feeding tube?" I wondered about that too. And what state was that in?

I wondered about that too. And what state was that in? I'm wondering also. I hope they went over her story with a fine-toothed comb before they put her on the air.

I was surprised that the doctors would remove a feeding tube against the husband's wishes.
However, do you recall last year the little illegal alien girl that received 2 heart transplants at Duke University hospital? The doctors removed her from life support, a ventilator, against the mothers wishes. She had a flat electroencephalagram. That was national news so it was legal. A feeding tube is not life support.
