Update your Advance Directive

2016-09-23 17:54:27.591388+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Man says state ignoring wife's wishes in advance directive:

“From her point of view when it became mechanically not possible to engineer eating by herself then she would want basically to let nature take its course,” explained Harris.

But she stopped eating by herself and now she's being spoonfed at a nursing home. The judge ruled she must continue to be spoonfed because her advance directive wasn't specific enough.
