However, what if you make the decision before  Meditation In A Bottle Review anyone has any excuse or pretext for taking your right to choose away from you, while you are manifestly of sound mind? And what if you were able to enshrine that decision in a legal document? Under British law at least - the Mental Capacity Act of 2005 - one can do so: one can make an advance decision to refuse a treatment one does not desire to receive, should one later become "unfit" to decide. This is called a "living will."

I suspect that in other countries there are similar laws that would in one form or another also give one that right and certainly any government that purports to uphold the Universal Declaration of Human Rights should provide it. The medical profession generally does not enforce on someone an operation, drug or other treatment they expressly do not want, whatever the personal opinion and sincere advice of the doctor may be. 

A surgeon, for example, who removed a kidney or a medical practitioner who injected you with something or other or gave you a blood transfusion against your will would receive very short shrift indeed. Being physical treatment, the same right therefore extends to that branch of medicine which administers brain operations, electric shock "treatments" and drugs. In Britain, if one wishes to protect oneself against possible future psychiatric abuse and refuse physically invasive treatments such as mentioned above, one therefore can simply make such a legally binding "living will" through the services of one's lawyer.
