About that mess in Florida..

Ok, it appears that the media coverage we got here gave a different impression than what the folks closer to the problem heard.

From what I saw, the husband was saying the wife had said she didn't want to live if she wound up "like that". While the parents were saying that the daughter was responsive.

I thought I'd heard something about the doctors thinking there wasn't any hope.

Given how often even *written" instructions seem to get ignored, I drew my own conclusions.

Your response is totally understandable. I'd feel the same way with slightly different circumstances.
