Would that be enough.....I don't know?

I'm going to try one more time to pin this down and then I'll let it go.

Do you think that should be enough? That's my question.

Normally, these decisions are made between the doctors and the families. Do you think they should be able to make the decision to pull the plug, or not, in the absence of a written document? For example, despite your having orally made your wishes known to your family and your family being in agreement, do you think the law should disallow pulling the plug?

Is it only when there is disagreement about your wishes that the law should insist on life?

In other words, would insist on life for everyone who does not have a written directive, no matter how clear and uncontested their wish to not live?
