the point of a living will is just to state your wishes more than anything else... instead of having the courts argue about it.

That is the case with a living will-correct. But it brings nup the argument by others -example youwhere under a manipulative person-other family members say you never wanted that. Research living wills as I mentioned.

I'm familiar with living wills and I don't understand the problem with them.

I'll try and be simple.
I'm a Christian but don't know all the details about what the Bible says I should do which would be important to me. But, my wife [who I love eternally] and I have talked and said we would not want to be "kept alive" if not able to live.

I would follow my wife's wishes no matter what and I would expect her to follow mine.

If needed I would and could pull te feeding tube from my own wife if needed. That may sound harsh but it's with 100% love and respect to my wife.

I would steal food from Daseal, but that's another matter.

The only food I eat from a tube is barley and hopps!

even if there had been a living will the parents would have taken through the courts as they have the word of mouth and T.S. would still be around a long time. Do some research on living wills.

What about research re: living wills?

A living will, if done properly, pre-empts any claim that the incapacitated person actually would have wanted to be assisted in X, Y, or Z fashion. Sure, someone can bring a lawsuit to say the incapacitated individual actually would have wanted to get or not get life support, but if that claim conflicts with the living will, the living will pre-empts that claim.

Very well a living will is to allow nature to takes it course.Not feeding an individual is NOT allowing nature to take it's course

I understand your point, but a living will can say whatever you want it to say. You can have a living will say I don't want a feeding tube. Or, you can have the living will say I want a feeding tube.
