    I have a Living Will, mostly to specify the Advanced Life Directives, so when something happens to me, no one will be in doubt as to my wishes. For example, I do not wish CPR or life support. I don't want the heroics. I also have added a Power of Attorney to that Will. I just don't want people that I love to make those decisions when I have already thought long and hard about my end of life. Both the Living Will and POA have been witnessed and notarized. My doctor has a copy of both.

    You can find more information about a Living Will via the net:
    Advance health care directive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    US Living Will Registry - Health Care Proxy & Advance Directive - Home
    Living Wills & Healthcare Power of Attorney - Findlaw for the Public -
