"It's the husbands decision."

I think Florida state law says when there is no directive, the patient's wishes are determined by the court, and the US Supreme Court says the standard to be used is clear and convincing evidence.

The Florida court has found the facts favor the husband's POV. The appeals courts have bakced up this decision almost unanimously in every case.

It's over. It's Michaels decision that carries the day.
