re: Do you have a living will? (Different than your standard will related to your death)

There are the stories I read about more often than I want to where a person is in a coma, and there was a heated debate between the family and the hospital around whether or not to pull the plug.

Sometimes the family loses sometimes the family wins. I don’t know what legal elements sit in the middle of all of that if there is not a living will, or even if there is one.

Surely there’s got to be some point where a living will simply can’t keep you alive if you are occupying a bed at a hospital for six months with machines and tubes galore all around you.
