Responsibiltiy and duty of care

This is one that caught my eye, and figure there is more to this than no one trying.

Don't know if the case of morbid obesity was the cause of illness or other way around. But sounds like her health was always going to be an issue and potential problem with any travel.
Is it the responsibity of a commercial airline in this story with her established health problem - the staff are not medically trained for the possible problems in flight, or should the couple have appropriate insurance for a medivac situation and planned for risk (presuming they could get it...)
Just dunno, can you sue the heck out of the airlines for this situation?
