God did tell Adam and Eve to go and populate the earth. That did not mean fornication among single people. You have to realize one thing too, God gave us brains to use and find answers whereever, thru science, experimentations, and so forth. Only God can keep us from dying. All the machines in the world can not keep us alive if it were not God's will.
We just have to pray and ask Him to help us or our loved ones who are suffering and in pain.

What is God's will? That we keep His commandments. 1John 5:3; Rev 12:17; 14:12; 22:14. This is what Gods people do, they obey Him, but His adversaries do not obey Him, check His 10 commandments (Ex 20[KJV]). Did God want people to breed....? Yes, Gen 1:28; 9:1. Wouldn't it be....? No. Luke 10, the good Samaritan. Was it interfering with God's plan that the Samaritan saved the mans life? No, it is a part of Gods plan that we help those that are less fortunate then we. The parable of Lazarus, Luke 16.

I'm not sure I follow your first question at all, you have to clarify.
They second question is something that religious people should have a hard time answering because it IS God's will for people to die when they get sick, WE invented modern medicine, it was not inspired by God--like they say the bible is. Every modern invention which gives us longevity and creature comforts was invented specifically because of discoveries which went against religious doctrine, FREE THINKING people. Many men were executed as heretics over the centuries by going against the grain of religious hierarchy. Here we are today, and God, Jesus and Allah had NOTHING to do with it, natural evolution of the species, progression, successful domination of our species-- Why else would we now have such a epidemic of population exploding to the billions in only a few decades? God must love potential sinners to put in hell because he's making an awful lot of them as of late--being that most people born in the world are born non-Christian countries!
And what is so bad about death anyway? Don't they believe in heaven? Surely they wouldn't have a problem with it if someone is extremely ill , How many hints can God drop that he wants someone to DIE!?

God's will is to love Him, love others as you would yourself. If you love you wouldn't do things to hurt anyone else including little things like gossip, build tension, smart alecky sp? even how we treat people to make sure we don't hurt others.
Fornication is the mistreatment via some act. Its not the act itself (sex) that is unclean but the "UNFAITHFULNESS" involved in the act that makes it unclean-cheating. Sex becomes "fornication" only when it involves unfaithfulness to another person.
Birth control does no harm to anybody.
If being kept on the feeding tubes is the wish of the patient before the condition then the family is honoring their son or daughter.

I have the same kind of questions about organ donation. If it was God's will for that person to get sick, and God's will for another to die, then are we interfering by prolonging one life that God might have chosen to heal or end? Or is it His will that the organ donor died and was a match for the recipient? Sorry to answer a question with a question, but we really have no way of knowing, other than praying about it and taking what guidance we receive.

As an atheist, I have no concern with ''god's will" . But to answer your first question--
If people were meant to become pregnant whenever they had sex, then they would have a breeding season and only be able to mate when it would result in pregnancy. The fact that they don't indicates that we can have the enjoyment of 'recreational sex' and can use contraception.
The second question--it's solely up to the person or his/her family if there's a living will

There is no will of god, since there is no god. He is a creation of man, so you would probably have to ask those who created him. Gods will is that the masses stay in poverty, while those in control, ie the church, continues to be the most profitable business venture in the history of man. Listen to your own will, and your own heart. If there was a god, im sure he would want us to live our lives for us. But, im sure there will be many more answers to follow, and the usual book length answers quoting random passages in the bible. Just remember, the bible was written by the same men who wanted to keep the masses in poverty and under control.

I don't really know but all who believe in god always harp on how it was gods will for aunt mary to go so why would god want her on tubes, when he is calling her to him? Question answered with a question sorry but that all I can think. I guess if he didn't want people to breed then we would have all been born sterile> Good luck.

God's ultimate will is for everyone to come to Him. He understands that that is not going to happen, and that's why He left us instructions(the Bible) and witnesses to bring as many to Him as possible. I can't give you a good answer on your second question, I feel it's not something I know enough about. Earthly speaking, I believe we should respect the wishes of the person who is attached to the machines, if they had stated them previously. If they didn't, then someone needs to be praying for that person and their family that they would make the right decision. I personally wouldn't want to be attached to machines long-term if something happened to me.

God's will is for us to be in fellowship with Him. That was the original reason man was created. When Adam and Eve sinned they fell out of fellowship with God because of their fallen nature.
"They heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the Garden in the cool of the day". How sweet it must have been to be in such fellowship, but, "the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God, amongst the trees of the garden". (Gen 3:8) This was man's first act of hiding from the light, prefering the darkness, because their acts were evil.
To re-establish fellowship, God sent Jesus to bear our fallen nature and die a propitiary death for our sins, restoring a relationship with the Father for those who would believe.
"For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
He that believeth on Him is not judged; he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world and men loved the darkness, for their works were evil." (John 3:16-19)
