No answers here, just questions.

Same questions here. In my case, hopefully I will be well enough to take one last throttle-wide-open run across the desert on my dirt bike. It will either be one heck of a successful ride - in which case I will have to take another run at it - or I won't have to worry about it anymore.

I still think the NYT editorial staff should get first hand experience at being starved and dehydrated unto death. I bet they would change their tune plenty fast. As far as euthanasia goes I don't mankind is ready to have such authority. If you want to be allowed to die or be given a shot under extreme circumstances then make up a living will. IMHO human kind is too corrupt, self serving, power hungry, and just plain mean to make these decisions.

Thanks BJungNam, I hope neither of us has to be in the position of having to watch someone die of thirst or be the person to watch someone die that way.

My dilemma is how can I sign a living will knowing that someone I love must make a decision to let me die of dehydration?

Or how can I make that decision for someone I love? And then be with them as they die?

I am pretty tough, but those are circumstances I don't know how to face.

People think that if they sign a living will everything will be easy.

Somehow I don't think so.

Again I just have questions, and no answers.
