Consider similiar situations and who else will use "mercy death" defense.

Anytime Congress becomes involved in anything...politics come into play. I am not satisifed at this point that she will get a review by a Federal Court...because many...Democrats...as well as Republicans...as well as law professors...are saying that the intervention by Congress is unconstitutional and the Fereral Court will not allow their action to stand.
For myself I hope that she does get a review by a Federal Court as maybe the truth about her condition may be thourougly investigated and made clear to all.
