If I lost my job today, do you think I have the absolute rigth to jump off the roof of my office building?

No. End of life wishes to me have to do with someone in a terminally ill situation with no hope of recovery. We should all have living wills that reflect our wishes. God forbid we should ever have living wills to cover suicide. But, the way things are going, I suppose it wouldn't surprise me.

This is a topic I struggle with greatly. Perhaps your statement above will help me think about this more clearly.

I was struck by your use of the term "terminally ill." I think I agree with your statement, but it does raise an interesting point. Even if Mrs. Schiavo had a Living Will, should it apply in this case since she is not terminally ill? I realize that this is a moral question, not a legal one.
