I've had to sit with two close relations, watch them die, and advocate on their behalf. Neither had any end of life directives. I was not challenged in any way regarding my decisions. The doctors WILL NOT do as they please if there is no directive in place. This is the sort of scare tactics that liberals use to force people to hand over their freedoms to the government.

You are very lucky. That is not always the case. It is not a scare tactic tp say that a doctor can go to court and get authority to provide or remove a treatment if they so desire ( the cases are all over the news when it happens——people who want to refuse treatments and aren’t allowed to and people who want life saving measures that they can’t get). No where in my post did you ever see anything that said I wanted the government to make these decisions. All I said was it is important for people to protect themselves.
