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. If a person has an illness that will make it impossible for them to live as they want, they should be able to write a living will that asks for medical help to die at a time of their choosing.
