Are living wills acceptable in the US? Here they are okay if the
doctor doesn't mind cooperating, but if you have a new from Ireland,
RC pro life doctor (as we did when my David was going to die) he
pointed out that it had no basis in law. Thankfully in that case I
knew who to call and she came and outranked him heavily so life
support was removed (I had begged not to have it in the first place)
When the children and I left a few hours later he confronted me and
said 'I suppose you think you won" so I told him I supposed he better
get out of my way quickly before my knee met his testicles.
