Protect Yourself From the Schiavo Case Effect
From The Yurica Report...

Because Congress has unconstitutionally usurped the courts in its attempt to bypass the wishes of Terri Schiavo and her husband, millions of Americans are asking how they can protect themselves from a similar fate. Here are a number of articles to help guide you on how to avoid Terri Schiavo's fate-- living as a vegetable for fifteen years.

Yurica Report's Editorial Note: A new survey by Findlaw.com finds that only 33% of Americans have a living will. Sixty-seven percent of Americans lack a living will, potentially leaving them with no say over whether they wish to receive life-sustaining medical treatment in the event they should become incapacitated or terminally ill. The national survey of 1,000 adults was conducted by telephone and results are accurate to within plus or minus three percent.

The Yurica Report brings you: Findlaw's Compilation of Information You Should Know To Protect You and Your Loved Ones
Many articles allow you to choose the laws which affect you from your own state. Just type in your zip code when asked and FindLaw will take you to your state's discussion.
