Living Will

A man and his wife were sitting in the living room and he said
to her, "Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative
state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If
that ever happens, just pull the plug."

His wife got up, unplugged the TV and poured out all of his beer.

Perfect. I hope she doesn't get brought up on Assisted Suicide charges.

Advance Directives / Living Wills

Why You Need One…

An Advance Directive, or Living Will, is an important document to have at any stage in your life. It is a legal document that is drafted to express your wishes for end-of-life care when you are unable to make those decisions yourself. Without an Advance Directive in place, some of the hardest and most important decisions of your life can be left entirely in the hands of medical professionals and your family. Not only do you risk having a decision made that you might not support; family members may be forced to make up your mind for you, often leaving them feeling unsure that they’ve made the right choice. Some of the items that are addressed in an Advance Directive are:

· Whether to accept or deny certain medical treatments

· Pain Control

· Resuscitation wishes

· Wishes for organ donation

· Appointing a agent to make decisions on your behalf
