State steps in over right-to-die woman

A HOSPITAL has begun giving fluids to a brain-damaged woman, six days after her feeding tube was removed in one of America’s longest and most bitter right-to-die battles.

A judge rejected a request by the woman's husband to overturn an order by Florida governor Jeb Bush to resume feeding her.

The lawyer for the woman's husband said angrily yesterday that she was "literally abducted from her deathbed".
