I hope you're right that in the actual legislation "neither active euthanasia nor the termination of nutrition would be permitted" and that the news reporter isn't getting the distinction.

"If requested in a living will or by a person chosen to decide on his behalf, a terminally ill patient who is over the age of 17 could ask that his life not be extended by artificial means.

The withholding of nutrition and active euthanasia would not be permitted because they violate Halacha... "

To which I say, "Thank God for Halacha."
