I strongly disagree. The individual marking "C" is responsible to discuss and make clear to their doctor BEFORE any issue arises what options they will or will not accept. They should take the time to sit and discuss this, instead of leaving it until they are in the hospital, and I believe that this was supposed to be the proper action to take if one marked "C".
