That's a big "high five", KDD!

I'm not letting my family go into the poor house keeping me alive in a PVS. Nor do I want them taking me home, changing me, bathing me, lifting me, feeding me, combing my hair, and giving me balloons to follow around to see if I'm "in there"...I want them to get on with their lives and LIVE.

My living will had better be honored!

Anyone who litigates anything not outlined in my Living Will will forfeit any inheritance or life insurance benefits that would have been due them after I die.

Michael had the legal authority to cease treatment on her behalf without going into court. He should have just told the Schindlers to "lump it".

The fact that he even gave their opinions their day in court when he didn't have to belies all these falsehoods relating to his "intent".
Slander thy name is Schindler.

Oh, believe me, it will be. Standard operating procedure, totally apart from legalities, is now that if you have a living will, no matter what it says or what you say you want, they tack it to your door and the staff takes that as the sign to offer you as little help as possible. Not every single staffer, but most. Human nature kicking in...

You couldn't get me to sign one for love nor money.

My loved ones know quite well how I feel about murder or self-murder in any of its ugly forms...
