Sorry, Terri Schiavo is spilling over here, but I just learned some info today. My lawyer here in NY told me that if Terri Schaivo were in New York, this whole thing would be a moot point, because in New York, if there is no documentation (living will) then the state's position is that no life support can be withdrawn for any circumstances.
YIKES!

I also made sure that my Mom made one the day that she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. It made keeping her at home and letting her die at home ALOT easier.

I got mine from my doctor. He helped me fill it out complete with medical terms & regular terms, just to make sure that some RTL'er doctor doesn't get confused! He said these days, there's no such thing as being too specific.
