Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
If you look at the living will there are two basic choices which can be elaborated on "
1 I request that all treatments other than those needed to keep me comfortable be discontinued or withheld and my physician allow me to die as gently as possible; OR
2 I request that I be kept alive in this terminal condition using available life-sustaining treatment"
What if in the future the default if no wish is expressed becomes #1
Instead of effectively today #2 being the default.
Note that the pope at least has said that #1 is not suicide.
