Dear Asker,

What is 'support systems'?

living will
Legally valid will.


Explanation:
From the asker's last clarification I can only think of this. The 'living' is for the will, not for the person being operated up on. Hope this helps.

living will
Will; a durable power of attorney


Explanation:
living will
n. also called "a durable power of attorney," it is a document authorized by statutes in all states in which a person appoints someone as his/her proxy or representative to make decisions on maintaining extraordinary life-support if the person becomes too ill, is in a coma or is certain to die. In most states the basic language has been developed by medical associations or other experts and may provide various choices as to when such maintenance of life can be terminated. The decision must be made in consultation with the patient's doctor. The living will permits a terminal patient to die in dignity and protects the physician or hospital from liability for withdrawing or limiting life support.

Mrityu IchchhA-Patra


Explanation:
I think that the concept has become clear after your note hereinabove.

A Living Will is a document defining your "right to die", or rather your "right to die with dignity". It usually states that you do not want to have your life artificially prolonged by modern medical technologies when there is no hope of curing you. You can specifically define the means which you do not want used or do want used. The living will is the document that expresses your desires to the doctors, telling them when to back off and let you die. The living will is very different from the testamentary will, which disposes of your property after your death.


It is quite interesting that the meaning might be conveyed if we translate it in an opposite fashion!

मृत्यु इच्छा-पत्र
Living Will एक ऐसा दस्तावेज है जो हमारे मृत्यु के अधिकार, बल्कि शालीनता के साथ मृत्यु के अधिकार को व्यक्त करता है। इसमे आमतौर पर इस बात का उल्लेख होता है कि जब हमारे निरोग होने की कोई सम्भावना न हो, तब हमें आधुनिक चिकित्सा तकनीकों की मदद से अनावश्यक रूप से जीवित न रखा जाए।
