Some people create their Advanced Directives stating that they do

Some people create their Advanced Directives stating that they do not want to be placed on mechanical life support, which includes respirators and it can also include feeding tubes. When in an emergent situation (a severe stroke, a trauma event, etc.) these systems may need to be put in place to allow survival at the time of the emergency situation. This is done in hopes of recovery. What if the patient does not recover? What if they are permanently required to have mechanical life support in order to live? This is in direct opposition of their advanced directives. What about the patient who recovers? Won’t they be thankful for those same life-saving measures? How can anyone know the outcome of the recovery process? – Nursing
