This is such a terrible principle
I disagree. You choose your spouse, you do not choose your parents. I think it is irresponsible not to have a living will, but if you don't the person you choose to do life with is a better default decision maker IMO than the individuals who birthed you.

So you would choose to have the person who you are in the middle of a divorce with making a life or death decision for you? And their incentive to choose death is a million dollar lawsuit.
That should definitely be taken into account in this situation.
