Being a realist, a humanist, a cynic and a humorist (and having had chronic Cluster Headaches for 16 years) the possibility of one day being hooked up to a machine that goes 'beep', to keep me alive while my brain is a vegetable has crossed my mind.
Yes - I have a Living Will. The Living Will says this:
"Unplug the freaking machine that goes 'beep', so that he doesn't lay there like a vegetable."
Here's what ya do. Go to your attorney. The one who writes up your regular Will. The Will that says that you want all of your stuff to go somewhere after you die. Tell that attorney that you also want a Living Will. Tell the attorney that you want your Living Will to say this:
"Unplug the freaking machine that goes 'beep', so that he doesn't lay there like a vegetable."
Hope this helps. It's helped me. I can now get into a head on collision with another vehicle, fall off a building, get run over by a bus, and even have someone poison me without worrying about being hooked up to a machine that goes 'beep', and lay there like a vegetable.
