Supreme Court Weighing Who Decides Whether to Pull Plug on Critically Ill Child - Parents or Doctors?

Despite requests to expedite their review because of Tinslee Lewis' ongoing suffering at Cook Children's, the Supreme Court of Texas is still considering whether to review an intermediate appellate court's judgment that the Texas Advance Directive Act is unconstitutional.
