Medical consent is a house that I consider holy but I draw the line at 'societal good'. This woman was at worst a risk to herself and the degree of violation here (besides the insults!) is revolting at so many levels. They had zero respect or consideration for her, their paper reality appears to have been more important to them than the flesh and blood human that trusted them enough to put herself in their power. And then they proceeded to grossly violate that trust. This is 'Terry Schiavo' in reverse, another case that had me wondering why people don't have respect for other people and allow them some dignity. There the courts were required to allow the hospital to stop a treatment they knew would never result in a patient recovering or even improving, and yet the parents tried to use the courts to force the hospital to continue to keep her alive against the wishes of the husband and the hospital.
And that took 15 years...
