What we know from second-hand information is that a beautiful baby girl and her family are facing heartbreaking medical diagnoses and decisions on the best future course of care and action.

This case and others have been used to call into question the appropriateness of the Texas Advance Directives Act, a largely misunderstood section of the law that can affect medical decisions at the end of life.
