Yep. As I thought. Another misrepresentation. I see a pattern here. The law is okay when it accurately finds the patients wishes. Well, some quibble with the ethics of forced starvation (I do), and the clinical determination of PVS (I have not made up my mind on that one), but leaving those aside -- the issue is that the finder of fact, Greer, blew the finding of fact.
I am inclined to advise people to NOT do a Living Will, because those can be construed against the patient's wishes. Better to have a trusted friend named as surrogate. You have abetter chance with them than with a morally and ethically bankrupt judicial and medical system. The legislation is fine. Plus, legislators language is twisted by the courts anyway, see SCOFLA and the 2000 election, for example.
Good post...Marjorie Nighbert would agree but she's not able to. Her living will killed her
