Blair Clark, 58, had a living will, which stated: "If the situation should arise in which there is no reasonable expectation of my recovery from severe physical or mental disability, I request that I be allowed to die and that life-prolonging procedures not be provided." ... on Oct. 24, 2000, Greer ruled in favor of the children and against the wishes of the wife, ordering all mechanical ventilation and intravenous nutrition stopped.

As well he should. The people who object to this show their true colors: they object to honoring the subject's wishes to die, no matter how they are recorded. This gentleman was quite explicit -- he wants to be allowed to die.

The operative words are "...no reasonable expectation of my recovery ...." Not some 'possible' expectation of recovery by means of acupuncture or experimental 'therapies', but "no reasonable expectation>" That is surely true. Judge Greer is right again.
