i had to go in for surgery recently...made my wishes known...signed the living will...i say if my brain is fried, or i can't eat/breath on my own, life aint worth livin.

 

[anxi80]

yes. my close friends and family have explicit instructions to take me out back and wipe me out old yeller-style in the case that i become a vegetable.

I dunno, does this have to be all legal? Or can I just write it down and put instructions in my pocket

That would probably get thrown out in court in a second.

Yes, years ago. It's not written down, but pull the damn tube (I guess it's written down now). Mrsskoorb and I came to this understanding long before this veggie came into the news.

Except it doesn't really matter anyway because your SO has the final word (unless your parents are dicks!).

Yes, she perfers it doggy style.

 

[nakedfrog]

I don't know that she's taken me seriously, but I've told the GF numerous times that when I pass on, I want a full mummification.
And as far as the living will thing, I'd like to stay on support for a couple months at least, maybe I'm just enjoying myself

 

[Baked]

Yes. If I end up like that, for the love of God, don't let them show it on national TV.

 

[Feneant2]

I've told my family years ago I did not want to live as a vegetable or even paralyzed and I hope they love me enough to kill me should the time come.

This was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. Not sad as in crying sad, but sad as in how f***ing pathetic it was to see the parents want to have the empty shell kept alive, just get bloody sea monkeys if you want to watch mindless objects grow old.
