"Apparently most of the family is in disagreement with daughter, but in accord with hospital."

See, that's the problem with guardianship. I don't blame the hospital for pushing it.

This could go on forever if all that is required is that she alone claims to be seeing "something."

Family members are seldom objective. They can convince themselves that what they see is whatever they want it to be, and I expect that she is just struggling with letting go.

This is a different thing from Terri Schiavo.

I mean, 7 years on life support? And with ALS, there's no hope. I'd consider that hell on earth, especially if I were at all conscious "in there". It would be like being buried alive.

The woman's daughter (victim?) was on the radio this morning with her aunt as they disagreed. The matter was discussed at length.

They are not stupid, neither of them. That was very clear.
