Seen it, preachy movie based on a faulty premise ...

If you choose (pretty much) at any point in time you can get a lawyer to draft up a DNR order and/or a document getting the hospital to remove life support and if you need external aid to survive you will die. The movie was a consequence of the Terri Schiavo case, but they obviously didn't understand the case at all. In the Terri Schiavo case the question was whether a husband could choose to cut off life support for his wife when she didn't have a living will (so there was no knowledge whether she wanted to die) in order to enact her will and collect all of her money.
