4. The problem is sometimes you are left not knowing what they wanted
and if that is the case then you would have to default to the probability of what they would want to do. Since only 7% in most polls say they would want to be kept alive on life support then you would have to go with the 93% chance that they would want the tube pulled. Sure you will miss 7% of the time but you will hit 93% of the time. You have to go with scientific probability if their is nothing else to go by. Unfortunately any bill will probably side with life and against the overwhelming odds that is what the person would want.
