Cure for cancer????

When a patient becomes unconscious unless there is a legally binding document that says otherwise, the doctors do what they think is best.

That can be addressed, can't it?

The government could inform the public. People could get information about this each time they go the hospital. GP can tell their patients who are in bad condition. Make sure everybody knows he can write down such a document. Make it very simple. Distribute preprinted documents. Run a few campaigns with shocking and provocative ads, genre: "Old Joe here is unconscious, but he's suffering the most cruel pain 24/7, but he can't move, he can't yell. He has to undergo and it will last for months. If he would be conscious, he would no longer be human. He would be a broken man who has been mercilessly tortured for months and months. After it ends, his family will be bankrupt because of the expensive treatment by doctors who saw him as their test subject and treated him allthough there was only a 0,005 % chance of succes. If only he had written down a statement..."

Logic is trumped by emotion: you are asking the government to advocate people choosing to end their lives rather than be treated? Is that how the cuts are going to be made, by murdering citizens?
