[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2089153, member: 468714"] These situations are harrowing. It is interesting that no mental incapacity was found in this diabetic teenager. It takes a higher degree of mental capacity to reject a life-saving and life-maintaining therapy than to accept it. I can only assume it was a psychiatrist's opinion. I also wonder what would have happened if she had been older than 18 years of age. ( just guessing her age here) In any case another distressing situation for all concerned. Edited by a moderator to remove comments detracting from the original post. [/QUOTE]
