Ms. Long, on the question of advance directives and advance requests, we do allow that anybody who goes in for surgery can sign a DNR, a “do not resuscitate”, and specify the circumstances. It seems to me that we're just trying to extend that very right that we give to a patient. They don't know what their state will be when they emerge from a risky surgery, so that is why they have signed the DNR.
Is this advance request not the ability to do the very same thing? We could sign it five years in advance and three years in advance and one year in advance. If you've indicated over your lifetime that you want to make those choices, would that not be a reasonable approach?
