The problem isn't that the urgent request went through, it's that she requested hospice or palliative care and was denied. And, let's be honest, POA should not be sufficient to euthanize a person who is awake, aware, and revoked consent.

"Do no harm" has been replaced with "put them down if it's cheaper and we can get away with it"
