Attorney George J. Felos is a nationally recognized expert in right-to-die cases. He is best known for the landmark case that helped establish an individual's constitutional right to refuse or have withdrawn unwanted medical treatment, Guardianship of Browning, and the current case of a vegetative young woman, Terri Schiavo, which was featured on NBC's Dateline program.

He has appeared on numerous television and radio programs including CBS's Early Show, CNN's Burden of Proof, Daybreak and Greenfield at Large, Court TV's Pros and Cons, Inside Edition, The Kathy Fountain Show, and NPR's All Things Considered. He has also presented seminars and debated end-of-life issues for various professional, civic and religious groups, and leads meditation and personal growth workshops.

Felos is the creator of Meditation for Lawyers, the first-of-its-kind instructional course accredited for continuing legal education. His article by the same name has been published and posted in various journals.

Felos graduated from Boston University School of Law, has practiced in Pinellas County since 1978, was a founding member of the National Legal Advisors Committee on Choice in Dying, and served as Board Chair of The Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, the largest non-profit Hospice in the world.

This guy sounds like a high society version of Dr. Kavorkian.

Gosh, I hope that his son's quality of life never diminishes to any extent (head injury, loss of limb, hang nail). Dad would probably put him down like Ole Yeller (for his own good and to preserve his civil rights to die a slow agonizing death). Of course, who would pay for this expensive litigation ? Not everyone has a $1,000,000 judgement to take care of a loved one for the rest of their life (or use it to have them starved to death, you know, whatever) to pay the attorney.

Where is the ex wife? If you have read the excerpts from his book, and his murderous rage for her, i think someone should check and see if she has not become PVS somewhere.

I came across an article on the teenager who crashed his plane into the Bank of America Building in Tampa a couple of years ago. His name was Charles Bishop and he was a former student at a prestigous private school, Dunedin Academy. He transferred to a public school shortly before committing suicide. There was a quote in the article by a former Dunedin Academy classmate named Alexander Felos. Anybody know if this is the same Alexander Felos who is the son of George Felos? This is my first time here and only about the third or fourth board I have ever posted on. I hope my question is appropriate, I'm still learning my way around the internet.
