Plan How You Die

CBS News has a good discussion of computerized and on-line living Wills

Or you can get the paper version sent to you cheaper from Aging With Dignity. Whatever you decide on, be sure that you talk to your family and immediate other persons and preferably give them copies of your document.

As near as I can see, we each need a document that states what we want to happen in various medical situations, and we need to give someone a power of attorney to make decisions for us if our planned situations don’t fit the real situation and we can’t decide.

Whatever you do, the situation in Florida makes the point to the rest of us. We need to plan how we will die and then we need to communicate our desires to those who will need to carry them out.
