How does declaring that in the absense of a living will in tangible form (written, video, etc.), a judge cannot accept contested hearsay without oversight, in any way interfere with the honoring of tangible living wills when they actually exist?
Under existing "law", a murderous guardian, an unscrupulous lawyer and cooperative judge can sentence to death any ward who is sufficiently incapacitated that he can be drugged enough to appear PVS. Does this not seen dangerously wrong?
The law does more than that. It requires great specificity in a valid Living Will so that I believe a person will have to enumerate each of tens of thousands of possible exact medical conditions and specify treatment in each instance, and be completely invalid if the condition is not exactly described.
It then gives any relative you have, no matter how distant, how hostile, or how strange, the right to challenge it's aplicability to present conditions in Federal Court, which will take years.
