in similar conditions, except in Texas, where then Gov. George W. Bush
signed a law that allows hospitals to make these decisions regardless of
the
families' (or patients') wishes.
You know, I keep reading that but I heard on the radio that the law he
signed included guardians, in the following order: Spouses, adult children,
and then the parents. IOW if there's no spouse, the decision is up to the
adult children, if there's no adult children, then the parents have their
say. All of that is of course with the concurrence of a doctor. Do you have
an easy to cite source at hand for any of this? I'd like to get the straight
scoop. Searching for stuff on this case is getting harder and harder; one of
these days, it's going to be called the blogernet instead of the internet.
I heard it on the radio, but it was MW...so we're probably not back on
topic. 
Here is a link to the story I saw. I don't know if it answers your
questions specifically. It does appear that the Texas law gives the
hospitals the final say.
