Only real difference is that, in this case, you have some people who arguably have some standing in the case (parents) who don't want her turned off, and who have raised some (interesting? strange?) questions about the hubby's motivations for getting her turned off. Plus, the court is supposed to give her wishes great weight, and the only evidence of her wishes is hubby saying, she told me to unplug her if something like this happened.
This kind of case happens a lot. Messy, all. Go sign a Durable Health Care POA tomorrow.
