Were these a case of the family wanting it but the state opposing?

[Ohioan from Florida]

In some of the cases, some members of the family didn't want the feeding tube pulled, and others (amazingly, usually the side that was the beneficiary) DID want the tube to be pulled. They may not have disagreed whether the person was PVS or not. But they did disagree on whether or not pulling the tube should be allowed. Those judges eventually decided it was okay to pull the tubes.
