Miz t. and I do have "if incapacitated" medical powers of attorney.

I don't have a health directive like 'DNR' if...
New discoveries in medicine happen daily (hourly?).
I don't want to direct someone to 'unplug' me at some future date. I'll leave it to my heirs and descendants to decide.

I have donated my corpse to science. My wife and daughter have the number to call. Put my remains on ice and they'll come and collect me.
Any 'leftovers' will be cremated and returned to my heirs.
They can hold a memorial/celebration of life/party/bash any time they desire.

Absolutely NO Cost to my family.
Think about it.
