If she wanted to die, she should have written out a living will stating this clearly and unambiguously.

So would you change the current protocol to one that mandates that all measures to be taken in each case to sustain life unless there is an advance directive? Or are you speaking just to the Schiavo case?

Torpedo
An explosive cap fastened to the top of the rail and exploded by the pressure of a rolling wheel to give an audible indication of conditions on the track ahead.
