[By a two-to-one (44% to 24%) margin, with one-in-three (32%) undecided, the survey finds that an incapacitated person should be presumed to want to live in the absence of written instructions such as a “living will.” ]

"...except in Florida now that a judge has decided to create a legal precedent..."

I didn't post a complete quote, but this portion of what you wrote should give us all pause. Much of what passes for "rule of law" in this country is based not on legislation and statute, but on legal precedent. This entire ruling needs to be overturned, lest it is cited in future euthanasia/murder-of-the-disabled cases as "precedent."
