Incorrect. Florida did not and does not require a written living will. See In re Guardianship of Browning, Florida State Supreme Court, 1990.
Thank your for dispelling a misconception I had. I was under the impression that the Legislature determined what the law was, and the courts just applied it to specific cases...but that must not be right, or that would make your citing a court ruling rather irrelevant. I'm just a dumb old conservative, not able to see legal Penubras and all.
That has nothing to do with what I said.
Terri could NOT HAVE WANTED to be dehydrated, since that was not legal before she was injured. She "could" have said she didn't want a ventilator or whatever, but not that she wanted to be dehydrated. They applied a NEW law RETROACTIVELY to Terri. That is clearly wrong.
