You have a right to live, but not a presumption...just like there's a right to die but no presumption of that preference.

Apparently there is not going to be a presumption that I would want to live now if the AMA blocks up coming state legislation.

...the American Medical Association [adopted] policy opposing any legislation that presumes patients would want life-sustaining treatment unless it is clear that they would not.

The AMA is going left people.
