Hospitals already have you sign a Living Will if you don't have one before they treat you. Unless you say you already have one. NOW,after this, I would guess that people will have to have one on file....BEFORE they treat you. It may be coming to that.

Your case below is a straw man. Everyone knows that a hospital doesn't keep people in long enough for anyone to have their entire family, three neighbors, and the dog come in to say anything.

Just beware if you have a person the government deems as a "guardian" for you, says you said something, while in fact, you did not. How can YOU prove if you said any such thing?

So, back to my question, are you saying that a patient needs a living will before a hospital allows the plug to be pulled even if the entire family, three neighbors, and the dog agree that that's what the patient indicated he wanted?
