lol, well I highly endorse the whole "Living Will" thing. Ultimately I think the choice should be with the person and they should take the steps necessary to protect their rights when they're unable to communicate their wishes.
The funny thing is I was with a group of friends and we were discussing this topic. Everyone was at least faking the, "Pull the Plug" type thing, the noble don't burden my loved ones. They asked me about it and I said, "Hook me up to any machine possible to keep me alive. I don't care if I burden my family, they've been burdening me for the past 30+ years, it's payback time."
I also have copies of my living will sent to pretty much everyone in my family, my lawyer, the newspaper boy, the mailman, and I basically print it on all my Christmas cards, correspondence, hell, I think I might use it as my sig file here.
