My kind of Living Will
I just found a template for a living will on a discussion board that included the following clause:
If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to sit up and ask for a cold beer or wine, it should be presumed that I won’t ever get better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my spouse, children and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it a day.
That’s what I’m talking about. Change ‘wine’ to ‘cider’, though. If I sit up and ask for wine, I think we can all assume I am deathly ill and you’re about to get your inheritance anyway, whether or not you pull the plug.
