supercat,

I could not cut and paste the efax of Mae's living will. I had to type it and I'm a terrible typist. Mae's living will DID have the (check the option desired) part before each section where you see items selected with an "X". I didn't type that in my post of the document. I missed it entirely, because I had to enlarge the fuzzy document a lot to be able to read it. I didn't see the (check option desired) parts until I went back to look at the living will in a smaller font, but it IS there.

All you lawyers: You have permission to slap me now.

That's not the critical part, though. The critical part is choice #2. A reasonable person who saw "including hydration but nourishment" as one of three choices would figure that it meant "give me water but not food", hence reinforcing "including" as "give me".
