Babinski prepared and duly executed a living will in which he gave explicit instructions not to be resuscitated in the event he became incapacitated or permanently unconscious without hope of recovery. Twelve years later, Babinski had a change of heart and decided that he wished to receive all appropriate treatment in such circumstances. Is Babinsk's living will an example of an advance directive?

    Yes

    Explanation:

    Advanced directive will is a written instruction that guides on the specific type of medical and health treatment the decision maker will prefer in the situation that he is unconscious to make such in the future. It is written while the decision maker is still healthy and in a good state of mind.

    However, some advance directive can specify some desired treatment to aid recovery.

    In the scenario, the decision to have all appropriate treatment was taken while Babinski was still conscious, therefore it did not void the advance directive
