Correction: "Sad part about the specificity of Florida law on including sustenance as a 'life-prolonging procedure'."

That is a frightening concept. I'm thinking of my husband, who spent 8 months in 1978-79 in a coma after a motorcycle accident. IV's could be considered "artificially provided sustenance and hydration" and therefore illegal for someone else in a similar situation.

This case has done a LOT of good informing many people about what constitutes "life support".

Since I've been reading all this, my husband and I have discussed what we would do if one or the other were to become so incapacitated. I had already decided that I would want to exhaust every avenue for rehab for myself or him.

His opinion:

"ALWAYS err on the side of life."

I married a wise man :-)
