The Supreme Court rejected an appeal to restore a Florida law specifically designed to keep a severely brain-damaged woman, Terri Schiavo, alive on a feeding tube. Mrs Schiavo suffered brain damage in 1990; her husband argues that she has the right to die. Florida's governor, Jeb Bush, submits that the state has the authority to intervene in the case.
A federal judge delayed the execution in Connecticut (the first in New England since 1960) of Michael Ross, a serial killer who has indicated he wants to die. Arguments will now be heard as to whether Mr Ross is mentally capable of waiving his right to appeal.
