Living Wills

Living Wills

While I was watching the NCAA playoff games last weekend, my wife and I
got into a conversation about life and death, and the need for living
wills.

During the course of the conversation I told her that I never wanted to
exist in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and taking
fluids from a bottle.

She got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all my beer.

LOL

Personally, I think that it should be a reverse onus, that heroic measures
should not be made to save a person's life unless they have signed a form
to acknowledge that they could end up in a chronic vegetative state.

I had an aunt who was living in a home. She had Alzheimer's and had had
several strokes. She had signed a living will so there was a DNR order on
her file. My father was her Power of Attorney after my uncle died, and my
father made arrangements for me to take over the PoA when he was dying.
About 4 months after my father died I got a phone call at about 3:30 on a
Sunday morning. It was a doctor calling from a hospital to tell me that my
aunt had had another stroke and he wanted to know if the DNR order still
stood. I was feeling a little groggy, had to ask for a moment to clear my
head. It was a heck of a time to make a life and death decision. But she
had signed it when she was healthy and I figured that I had no option but
to abide by her wishes. She died a week later.

Eek! You WOULD go there!

In that case, the term is "trussed", not "hog tied".

HTH?
