Do you mean the legislation mentioned in this article ?



" For your information, while he was governor of Texas, George W. Bush signed the Advanced Directives Act in 1999, which gives hospitals the right to remove life support in cases where there is no possibility of revival, when the family cannot pay, no matter what the family's wishes are in the matter. In Texas, you can only live in a persistent vegetative state if you are accepted in one of the few institutions that provide such care or if your family is both willing and able to take care of you. And if Bush is so concerned about the right to life, why didn't he give death-row inmate Carla Faye Tucker more than 10 minutes consideration and some cheap mockery? "
OOh yeah, that's it! Thanks

Finally, hopefully, sadly, this case will come to a close. It doesn't matter right now that he's "an pos", he's staying with her to fulfill her wishes of not wanting to 'live' like this (that's why he didn't divorce her!) and FINALLY her wishes can be filled out. Not like it hasn't been tried for the last seven years or so... with courts siding with her time and time again...

I feel sad for her parents since they are holding on and not being able to let go, I do NOT want to go through with seeing any children I might have die before I do, but I'd fulfill his/her wishes (hopefully).
