The Alliance Defense Fund and allied attorneys filed a friend-of-the-court brief Monday with Pennsylvania’s highest court on behalf of a mentally disabled patient, arguing that his legal guardians should not be allowed to deny him life-sustaining treatment while he is in a stable and conscious condition. The legal guardians of David Hockenberry, a 50-year-old man with acute mental retardation since birth, unsuccessfully attempted to deny him temporary life-sustaining medical treatment for pneumonia and have appealed to the high court for the right to refuse such treatment in the future.
