Why should a judge usurp a medical decision? And if medicine is about sustaining life, well, I don't really understand the relevance of the tests. As I posed, it strikes me that the decision is illegal on its face. I wonder what statute Greer relied upon for that one.

I wonder what statute Greer relied upon for that one.

Florida code, art. 666:

1. All rulings by George Greer are correct. Any law which would conflict with a ruling by George Greer is void.
2. In the event a ruling by Greer is found to be in error, the case should be evaluated in accordance with 666.1.
3. This section shall become law whether or not it is signed by the governor or even introduced to the legislature.
4. It is not necessary to reproduce this section in so-called 'official' copies of the Florida code. Its non-appearance therein shall not be construed as evidence of its non-veracity.

I would assume he probably relies upon 666, quoted above, for his authority. Would seem the most logical source.
