Here's a living will from the New York State Bar Association's website. In a nutshell, by filling it out you say, "Please kill me if I'm any trouble."
What I want is a living will that says, "Please don't kill me, even if saving my life entails getting someone get off his lazy ass to put a feeding tube in my stomach." I suppose doctors used to assume that patients wanted to live, but after seeing the Terry Schiavo fiasco I think a legally-binding document saying "Please don't kill me" might come in handy.
And I need to get comments installed again.
