So, even if someone states that they want to live, medical professionals can disregard this, because they know better than their patient? This is insane.

This is insane.Good, honest medical professionals can tell patients and their family that their prognosis is very terminal. And further treatment is unwarranted and just prolonging their imminent death. Comfort measures might be in order.
