Personally, I don't think a ruling that you don't have the right to deny nourishment to yourself unless you express that in writing is a good idea.

I think it is a splendid idea unless one is a permanent vegetable. The problem is the potential for abuse, particuarly if the medical bills are wasting the estate away for the heirs.

My wife can't find the living will, although she knows what I want. My parents argue about it.

Is that what you want?
