"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.

Right. No presumption you would want to die, either. The government would keep its nose out, and it will be between you, your doctor, and your family/guardian.

Does it bother you to not have the government's nose in your life? Try DU.
