George's long-time companion, Robert, comes to visit and is deeply relieved to find that the hospital has disregarded George's living will in order to continue his life. The living will directed healthcare providers to cease life-sustaining treatment in the circumstance that George was in. Robert directs the hospital to continue with the artificial administration of fluids and food to keep George alive.

May Robert lawfully make this treatment decision?

a. Yes, because advance directives can be overridden in the interests of saving life.

b. Yes, even if he has not been appointed as agent.

c. No, unless he is also a physician.

d. No, because the hospital should not have disregarded the advance directive.
