In my family and in my in-laws family, we all have living wills, plus have designated a health care surrogate.

Hydration and medication to relieve pain are to be continued until death. Feeding tubes or ventilators (if the patient is terminal) are not to be used. DNR (do not resuscitate) orders are to be left to the discretion of the health care surrogate.

This is the choice I commended you on last time around.
