Hell, two claim to be "Dr."s without having any credentials to back the title up.
See more here, and more here.

I don't know much about the facts, but I sympathize with bilmore's point. Perhaps they love her. Perhaps they don't want her to die. They're holding on to what they've got (vegetative though it may be).
The point is, we have a variety of laws and procedures to resolve these problems, and everyone -- including the U.S. Congress -- should respect them. At some point, you have to be willing to accept procedural defeat, and that other people have other views, and sometimes the system respects their views instead of yours. Congressional Republicans have a hard time with that.
Which brings us back nicely to judicial filibusters.
