Thank you. : )


I wish they'd push for everyone to have advance directives, and then tighten up the standards.


Back when Terri collapsed, advance directives were very rare.

Terri will be a heroine if it draws attention to the issue and people make their wishes known who might have otherwise been wrongly treated.

Probably be smart to tighten up the standards first. Given the way words are twisted after the fact, my advance directive is going to recite "use heroic measures, and if that doesn't work, leave me out in the snow." ;-)

I wouldn't trust a doctor or the legal system to make the appropriate choice, that's for sure.
