You know, I'm sure those clauses will be abused, and I really don't like
the sound of some of it, but these days, having a living will is as
prudent as having a regular will. Most of us find it uncomfortable
talking about death, but your loved ones do need to know your wishes
about "pulling the plug".


SW Tom must spend a lot of time at the hospital. I don't. I've never
been to a doctor's office where anyone has asked me the questions under
discussion here. In fact, I visited my ophthalmologist last week for an
exam, and *he* didn't ask me, either.

I still wonder if SW Tom looks frail *or* perhaps he has a medical
history that might necessitate asking him those life or death questions.

Your point, however, is pertinent. It's a good idea to have a living will.
