Removing treatment by democratic consensus as default (living wills)
#19
RE: Removing treatment by democratic consensus as default (living wills)
Here's logic 101 on this one then for you then Boru: If 95% (or even 55%, not that such an absurdly low rate is plausible, but rather for the sake of argument) of people say they'd far rather die than be rendered permanently (in all likelihood) utterly paralysed, double-incontinent and unable to eat, drink or communicate in any way, it is fair to decide that helping such patients to die rather than fitting a peg and tube feeding them as the default position, is the correct and moral way to behave, if they have not explicitly stated they would want to live on in such a condition in a living will.
