A few months ago, I told you about “Baby Olivia*,” who suffered a brain injury when she was only two weeks old. Since then, we have been working with Olivia’s mom to fight for the infant’s life.

Caroline* called us after her mother’s care was taken over by a court-appointed guardian. The guardian does not know the family and has never visited the woman – yet she can liquidate the woman’s assets, enter into contracts on her behalf, determine where she will live, and make life and death decisions about her health care. Last

The wife of a brain-injured man in Louisiana is determined to dehydrate him to death by removing his nutrition and hydration. The euphemism for this barbaric treatment is “comfort care.” It used to be reserved for true end-of-life situations where a person with a terminal illness had only hours to live and could no longer assimilate food and water.
