In mid-February 2010, 40-year-old Rebecca Bennett went into a coma due to complications from diabetes. After a few weeks, the ethics committee at Ruby Memorial Hospital in West Virginia decided that it would stop Bennett's dialysis on March 27, despite the expressed objections of Bennett's surrogate and daughter, Sierra Kisner.
ADF filed a complaint and secured an extension of the withdrawal date until April 9. But why didn't they shoot for a longer period? Apparently, because the hospital has some grounds for replacing the surrogate, ADF's BATNA was not a permanent injunction.
