>Just that the person has the right to choose no medical treatment. You also have that right. If a doctor says you will certainly die without treatment, you can say no. The doctor doesn't write in the note that you are fine, just that they offered and you did not want it. It's not a "game", it is the ethical and legal requirements of the role. The issue is that the people we're talking about don't have the mental faculties to make these decisions. Do you think someone in the state they're in, barely even aware of where they are, unable to even speak or stand up straight, would be allowed to sign a legally binding contract? Of course not, any court would throw out any contract they signed because they're obviously not mentally able to make decisions like that. Same goes for decisions about their health.
