An Australian judge ruled Friday that a quadriplegic man who says he cannot "undertake any basic human functions" has the right to direct a nursing home to stop feeding him and allow him to die.

...

"I'm happy that I won my right to die," he told reporters at his nursing home.

"I want to end my life, but after I speak to a medical professional," he added. "There's a possibility I could still be dissuaded."

1. Good for that judge for not saying he

knows better than the man himself whether his life should be continued or not.
