I know a little about Scientology's views on eugenics and euthanasia. And, I did know that Scientology is a major presence in Clearwater, Florida. So, I just was speculating about whether Felos had represented the "Church" of Scientology or was a member. I think I will nose around...
Greer falls into that search:

Scientology attorney Wally Pope—who represented his "church" in the Lisa McPherson case—was the individual selected to bestow this high honor on Judge Greer! Wally cited high ideals, personal character, and judicial competence:
"Yet, in the teeth of all that, he has steadfastly demonstrated exactly what the John U. Bird award was created to honor: high ideals, personal character, judicial competence and service," lawyer Wally Pope said before bestowing the honor.
Judge Greer received a campaign gift from the law firm of Michael Schiavo’s attorney...only one day after "Terri’s Law” was declared unconstitutional by a Pinellas county court....Of course, no direct evidence suggests collusion between the two parties, but the timing of the campaign contribution is highly suspect.
