I wonder what he'll do. If he wanted the inheritance all along, he's really in a dilemma now, isn't he?

A related passage we can always take time to read.

I support a right to choose, because I think the issue is so blurry that people should each make the choice for themselves. This is why i think having a living will is a great idea, and you should try to make it as clear as possible. Put what tests you want run first if under some conditions you might want to be let die. Don't be ambiguous.

I do worry about this specific case though. I haven't really been following it, but from what I see, it does seem problematic. I do think caution is vital.

If I were truly devoid of all brain functioning, then as far as I'm concerned, I'm gone and keeping the body around isn't something worth doing. But I'd like people to be sure before they stop keeping me hydrated. And preferably, I'd prefer not to die in that matter, just on the off chance they made a mistake, at least let it be a less painful way of dying.
