Speaking of one's chance comments not being the controlling authority, suppose one WERE to off-handedly say at a grandparent's funeral, "I wouldn't want to be like that"

What could that mean EXCEPT "I'm young with my whole life ahead of me, I don't want to be old and sick". That would be a universal emotion, not a significant medical directive. How in the world could a "judge" misinterpret such a thing (even if it were actually said) as meaning "starve me to death in ALL circumstances"

"I wouldn't want to be legally blind like Judge Greer" -- does that mean I can die now?

I hear you. Heck, I've said I would jump out a window if I couldn't lose ten pounds! I guess that g be cited as proof that I WANT to be starved to death!
