 I am opposed to this.  It's already hard enough in this "freedom of choice" country to have one's intentions followed in a health care situation. Doctors and hospitals already ignore living wills if they decide otherwise.  This just gives them one more leg to stand on and do want they want.

Whether or not the patient (or his guardian) is able to respond to such a request should make no difference.  A lack of a yes should mean an implied no.



Thank you.
