"Browning, of Dunedin, had written a living will in 1985, saying she did not want to be kept alive by artificial means if she ever became ill. Big difference."

No difference.

"Significantly, in the Browning case, the Florida Supreme Court found that the right attaches, so long as "the patient has expressed his or her desires in a 'living will,' through oral declarations, or by the written designation of a proxy to make all health care decisions in these circumstances."

Well I guess the good old Florida Supreme court decided it was time to legislate from the bench. I noticed that the petitioner on this case was non other than George Felos. Man he is a busy man working so hard to get the laws changed in Florida so we can all part take of his grand euthanasia plan.
