Question 27

Multiple Choice

Grace's cousin was kept on life support for three years after a car accident left him brain-dead while his wife and parents argued and fought in court over whether or not to take him off life support.

B) Yes, by drafting a very specific living will, Grace has made sure that she will have her wishes met in the event of brain death.

D) No, Grace also needs to draft a letter of last instruction or there will be no legal requirement for anyone to follow the instructions in her living will.
