A 'Living Will' that's phrased as one's own death warrant!

No kidding. Legislators get all out of shape on property contracts that don't read in plain english, but the same dirty SOB's legislate model language that is confusing. I think the Florida model living will in unconsionable, due to use of misleading terms of art. The Georgia model Living Will sucks too, IMO.

Legislatures need to be pressured to change the model language. There should be media attention to make the public aware of the misleading language in these as well, using the actual model language. I can easily see most people being fooled by the language in these.

This coordinated attempt to dupe people out of their lives is beyond maddening.

The "Will to Live" has been recommended instead of a living will. The presumption to live exists in the WILL TO LIVE, instead of the PRESUMPTION TO DIE IN A LIVING WILL.
