This is one example of why I'm not the least bit interested in having a living will.

Instead, I have a Health Care Power of Attorney which says if I'm unable to communicate my own wishes, my wife speaks for me.

This way, neither Congress nor my parents nor any other bunch of well-meaning busybodies can stand in the way of my wife's telling the doctors when to let me depart from this mess.

Yes, sir-! That's what most people should get. My beloved and I each have those and we STILL made sure others knew we didn't want to be starved or dehydrated (sp?) to death.

My gosh. Such evil, nasty people are out there.
