What possible good would come of it, judges get to tell us what you really meant?
However, where clear written instructions are not present, it is merely one party's word against the other's. How can someone possibly make such a decision? I wouldn't want to have that kind of responsibility. In a situation like Terri Schiavo's...where her husband claims she said she would not want to be kept alive in such a state but can produce no proof...I would have to side with her parents and not remove the feeding tube. However, were he able to produce a document signed by Terri and notarized by a third party, I don't see a problem with it; after all, those would have been HER wishes.
