Living wills are a difficult decision. I know a case in which a woman has guidelines and was involved in an accident, the family sued and put on a ventilator. Output from a coma and survived. If policies have been complied with, were killed. Not everything is black or white, and there are many variables and infinitely many possibilities.
I believe that the best advance directives for people from the younger age.
I believe in a DNR, if there is evidence of brain death. Otherwise, if there is life there is hope.
