I think we're assuming the people who sign Living Wills are choosing to have a slow death.

Then why don't they call them "Dying Wills" ??? ;-))

Oh... I never thought of it like that.
The name of LIVING WILL is so misleading, like you are making this will while you are living!
Instead, the WILL is to tell the doctors what to
do with your nearly-dead body!
I agree, the name should reflect the reality of the
document so people paid more attention to the details
and the horrors of the options they might choose....
DYING WILLS... would be very much more appropriate.
And if you don't have one. They should let you LIVE.
