On a personal note, my wife's Grandmother has a tumor and has been
given 6 months to live if she doesn't get therapy.  She told my
mother-in-law she didn't want the therapy (she's 93, but strong) and
now she's been out for the last couple of days.

So let's say she doesn't wake up and some other family member steps
forward and demands we provide therapy instead of "watching her die".

I guess in that case you'd like to make the decision for us or maybe
you think we should take a survey?  Or maybe you think some senators
should weigh in?

That's the problem - while all you can see is a person dying, others
see a private medical decision that should be made by the family,
which isn't you or Sam or judges or Congress.

BTW - don't think your living will protects you from anything.  I've
talked to some experts who say this legal challenge will essentially
invalidate them unless they are made shortly before the incident in
question.
