Ohio "right-to-die" legislation

An article on the Enquirer’s website last Friday announced a bill having been introduced in the House of Representatives which would prohibit Ohio judges from being able to order the removal of feeding tubes from “permanently unconscious people when their wishes are unknown or unclear,” spurred by the Terri Schiavo case three weeks ago.

House Bill 144, introduced March 22nd. is now in committee for consideration.

Lawyers Weekly relates an “avalanche of interest in advance directives.”
