"It certainly has. It's also made public and somewhat vindicated ideas that we've been discussing on these threads for a long time. 1) That that the living wills and advance directives the death culture has been pushing mean nothing. They don't mean a thing when an ethics committee can override them and kill whenever they feel like it. 2.) That the health insurance industry plays a big part in this. Maybe the major part."

I cringe everytime I hear the word bio"ethics."

The reason the pro-death crowd want us to have so-called living wills, is so that if we unwisely put something in the will that will kill us, it will be easier for them to do so.

However, if we choose life for ourselves thoughout the will, they will override it with a bio"ethics" committee, whenever they can.

If I did get an advanced directive, I would download the "Will to Live" which is at www.nrlc.org

I'm not going to even bother with downloading it, since they can override it anytime they please. I think the crucial thing that lets them get away with this is that they have legal immunity. Remove that, and they'd change overnight.

Or, they can keep legal immunity -- and think long and hard about what distraught family members, out of their heads with grief, might do. And then ask themselves if it's worth the risk.
