In a case like this I would ask the attending physicians to contact the hospital's attorney who can contact the proper state agency to get emergency treatment, including surgery, if it is deemed that your parents 'decision puts you in grave danger of death or severe disability or adversely affect your quality of life and surgery would be in your best interest.
