> If that treatment plan disturbs you, have you made your advanced directive plan so that the same thing doesn't happen to you?
OPs statement as I read it, their grandmother fully chose the best option she thought she had at the time and it disturbed OP, so not sure of the point about pre-choosing.
I guess perhaps to say, they would prefer not to be killed just because there isn't a decent shot? I'd prefer a hospital system that didn't do that, but I guess until we get one maybe it might be needed.
And as always, rather than planing for death, what about planning for life.
Work on the thing in your life that might cause the issue in the first place. Planning for death is giving up in some regard.
I'm in my 40s and have a full estate plan including a will & trust, technical recovery how-to's, and my advanced care directives documented. If I get hit by a bus tomorrow, I don't want a) my estate drained for bullshit care that won't fix me, b) or the people caring for me and executing my post-death instructions burdened unnecessarily. If I am a vegetable and the spark that makes me, me is gone, pull the plug. If I don't have the mental ability to ask for food or water, pull the plug. If I am in so much pain I am out of my mind, bring on the opiates and large doses please.
I haven't given up and I have no plans to die any time soon. I just realized I had too much money to die without a will and I don't want to live like a vegetable. It's all my choice, not a hospital system. You don't like these decisions, you do you and document your own plan.
Death happens to us all. If you don't like how somebody else did their death, document your own preferences. If you want to live unable to lift a spoon to mouth, unable to walk, confined to a bed, not knowing what year it is, that's okay. Just hope you don't marry somebody like me without an advanced care plan! I would pull your plug under those circumstances. I'd cry, but I would do it if I didn't know what you wanted. Sounds like you wouldn't want that...
Ignoring a 100% guaranteed thing in your future because it's uncomfortable to think and talk about is irresponsible in some regard.
