Questions

The question is not whether persons who are not related by blood or law can make health decisions for hospital patients, but rather, whether the President has the unilateral authority to declare they may.

Without delving into the issue, I would suggest that allowing the President to impose his will on yet another segment of society is a very dangerous precedent. I question whether hospitals have the right to ignore the words of a man who may have usurped an authority he doesn't possess. I realize I'm obsessed with Hitler, but didn't he begin by making proclamations to which so few people objected that a whole nation was brought down?
