The law is clear
Excerpted from Florida state law, chapter 765.101...
(1) The Legislature finds that every competent adult has the fundamental right of self-determination regarding decisions pertaining to his or her own health, including the right to choose or refuse medical treatment. This right is subject to certain interests of society, such as the protection of human life and the preservation of ethical standards in the medical profession."
...subject to certain interests of society, such as the protection of human life.
Interesting. So, if we are a nation of laws, how was this law overlooked at the 11th circuit?
