| Question text | And now some questions about 'living wills', in which people can say what sorts of medical treatment they would or would not want to be given in the future. Please tick one box on each line to show how much you agree or disagree with each of these statements. Doctors should always make the final decision about what is right, even if this goes against what a patient's living will says they would want. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
