I've seen a standard format "Living Will" that was executed by a deceased cousin of mine. As written it could have easily been interpreted to instruct her care givers not to engage in any kind of resuscitation if she had a heart attack or stroke. In other words, its literal implementation, which didn't happen, would have prevented her life from being saved when she still had a lot of high quality living yet to do. Anyone who signs one of the things had best realize it's a death warrant and know exactly what he or she is agreeing to.

Like any other legal document, it must be PROPERLY WRITTEN. Obviously the one cited here was not.
