" Drawing up a living will is “both unnecessary and dangerous”, Pavone said in his statement. “We cannot make treatment decisions today for circumstances of tomorrow that we cannot predict. Whether a medical treatment is morally required depends on those circumstances and therefore cannot be determined in advance. It is always morally required, moreover, to provide food and water to a patient, because food and water, even when provided artificially, do not constitute medical treatment but rather humane care. We are not morally permitted to request starvation and dehydration”. "

Agreed. Living Wills are partly what got us into this mess to begin with.

There isn't a thing about this case that doesn't make me sick. God Bless and prayers for the Schindlers.
