2. Living wills are a good idea
Edited on Sat Aug-01-09 09:15 AM by AllentownJake
My mother is a nurse and she told me a story about an 85 year old whose family demanded a pace maker despite the fact the guy was in the later stages of Alzheimer.

Families have a hard time letting people go. Its good for you to leave something for your family to know what they are supposed to do.

I'm pretty sure the man wouldn't want what his family requested for him. Don't know. I know I certainly would rather have a heart attack than forget all the people that are special in my life.
