I've downloaded and read this entire document. The Human Events article (and most of the other coverage about this booklet) completely misrepresent the contents. This DOES NOT even come close to advocating any of the crap folks are saying. It contains information and exercises used to help people to plan for circumstances when they may not be able to communicate themselves. End of story. I'm going to print out copies for my parents and my wife and self to fill out. If more people did so we could avoid a great deal of soul searching an heartbreak later on. Anybody remember Terri Shiavo?
