Disclaimer: I am not a attorney. This is not legal advice.
An Advance Directive is exactly that! It is not a Power of Attorney for medical treatment so the alleged motives of the husband/father are irrelavant.
Intubation/trach/cric to maintain an airway on a DNR patient? To what end? Find a manequin if you want to practice or spend time saving someone's life who wants to be saved. This lady MADE THE DECISSION. Have enough respect and honor to follow her wishes.
IMHO: It may not always be easy but it's right.
