[edit] Discussion From Futile Care Law

Primarily I added the NPOV tag because of the lack of references -- in particular, the statement that someone was forced to die "against her wishes" could be construed as biased unless there is a reference to it (say, in a news article) and the reference is cited in this article. Not a bad article, in general, but it could use some expansion. -- MatthewDBA 17:15, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

After merging, I cleaned up the text to make it less biased and added "Cases" and "Criticism" so the controversy is easier to follow. Ksargent 21:10, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

I just added oodles of references.

Well, maybe not oodles, but at least an oodle and a smidgen.

I hope that helps.

If nobody else addresses it, I'll flesh it out some more later.

[edit] Merge with "Advance Directives Act"?

Seems to me that this article is about the same the the "Advance Directives Act" is about. At the very least I think there should be a link to that article for the words "The Futile Care Law" since that article actually explains what the law is. 192.52.57.33 16:51, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree. This fits well with the Advance Directives Act and so I merged it unchanged. Ksargent 19:50, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Andrea Clark Case

Has anyone here heard about the Andrea Clark case? There are a couple articles on it in the Houston Chronicle, here and here. More can be found with a quick google search.
