The state of Florida has legally determined that a feeding tube IS part of life support.

You sure? I didn't think the law was that distinct & that determination was made by Greer.

Is it part of the new law signed by Gov. Bush and struck down by the courts?

I didn't think the law was that distinct & that determination was made by Greer.

I read somewhere in one of these threads that the FL legislature had changed the law in 1999 to include feeding tubes as part of "extraordinary" medical support. Dang, I wish I could remember the legalese.

It is very troubling that the determination in this case has been that dependence on "medical intervention" abrogates the right to life. Dangerous precedent.
