You are absolutely correct! I do not think anyone who could financially gain from the death of another should be anywhere near the hospital if that person is sick.
But I think hear we tend to think in absolutes. What the doctor says goes, mostly because we trust them and we expect them to answer all our questions with absolutes. We want our doctor to say "This is exactly what is going to happen." We have good reason to expect that. Doctors spend alot of time learning their profession, and their education never stops.
But the human body is an amazing thing, it can defy absolutes. Doctors are learning new ways to save and protect people every day.
When you put all that together it seems that living wills take options away from a doctor to treat someone that the doctor might have had otherwise.
I worked on that all day Fred so I could explain to you exactly what I was trying to say yesterday.
