"A written document, while assuredly a good thing, is not necessary."

But, again, it would have made the courts unnecessary in this case, and that, again, is what is at issue. There would be no room for contesting the decision.

Besides, again, I am contesting the notion that this case would call into question the validity of such a document (as one 'catter stated above, and which I've been addressing all along). This case, no matter how it is decided, will not make future living wills invalid.

Nor, as alleged by the poster to whom I refer, does fundamental Christianity have any problem with living wills. I have one.
