Efforts in the Texas legislature to extend deadlines accompanying the futile care law failed when the House did not act to pass the bill this week.
UPDATE: A bill passed the Texas Senate unanimously that would "extend the initial notification period to five days, and would give families a minimum of 21 days to look for a transfer to another hospital after the ethics committees' decision. The measure would also prevent hospitals from using the law on patients whose only life-sustaining treatment is artificial hydration and nutrition."
