E xactly so be very specific in your wishes (to all) because pulling a feeding tube and pulling a plug are two totally different things in the eyes of the law.
Pulling the plug- the person usually drifts off like in the movies
pulling the feeding tube - the person starves to death after a week or so which is murder in the eyes of some law makers and not allowed.
So be very specific in your wishes because the pull the plug DNR wishes do not apply when someone is on a a feeding tube.
