Dont know if this case was ever reported in the UK but its been an on going saga here in Florida with a woman in a vegative state having her family keeping her alive and her husband wanting to let her die. Many reasons abound about what should be done and it brought about a lot of people making living wills, myself included, so you dont get interferance from outside.

some of these may give an insight in to the case but it does open up discusion on euthinasia, living wills etc should politions be involved? who has the right to terminate? how do you know the wishes of the person?
