Wisconsin Court Dismisses Right to Die Case
Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled 7-0 that Edna Folz lacked authority to demand removal of her sister’s feeding tube. Folz is not in a persistent vegetative state and never clearly stated a wish to die. Justice Steinmetz noted Folz’s background as a journalist and devout Catholic despite her expressed preference. The decision narrows authority in end of life disputes under limited Supreme Court guidance.
