Ceo, that's not going to happen. At least that's not how it will happen in the Yeldan (or Yeldan UN Mission) legal system. When the first one of these cases lands in court, the judge will rule that the rights granted by the UN resolution no longer apply because the "patient" is dead. It will be a very quick decision. Ceorana has a judiciary, let it do its job.
I didn't include anything about what happens to the medical records after death because I didn't see it as necessary. The proposal doesn't address the issue one way or the other and your courts can handle medical records of the deceased as they see fit. [/quote]
OK, suppose the person without a legal guardian goes into a permanent vegetative state, aka alive but not going anywhere, and had a will not wanting euthanasia, in the same situation. There's no denying that they're still a patient.
Or suppose some lawyers want to prove that the alleged victim of a crime was in a hospital at the time they alleged they were assaulted somewhere else? No way to get the records.
Et cetera.
