It really should ask;
Would you want to be KEPT in a horrible helpless and hopeless state of existance, from which you could NEVER recover, for years on end and slowly die over God knows how long a period of time..connected to a feeding tube......OR be able to reduce it to 13 days in a morphine induced state of comfort?
The fact is many people who make such decisions in their living wills DO NOT want to be kept alive in such a state of existance for years on end.
