Perlmutter, 379 So. 2d 359 (Fla. 1980), in which the Florida Supreme Court held that a competent adult patient with no minor dependents, suffering from a terminal illness, has the right (under the constitutional right of privacy) to refuse or to discontinue extraordinary medical. treatment where all affected family members consent. Admittedly, Harrison’s condition, unlike Perlmutter’s, is not “terminal“; nevertheless, the situations are otherwise quite similar.
