Abstract
The Supreme Court of South Australia has upheld a patient’s entitlement to make an anticipatory end of life direction even though she was not terminally ill. On 15 June 2010, the Honourable Kourakis J found that a patient in a high care unit was entitled to direct that the unit cease providing her with food, water and medical treatment.
