When I was admitted recently to the hospital for treatment, the nurse gave me a "pep talk" on living wills. She strongly encouraged me to apply for one. She was an advocate for living wills. This was part of the admission process, a standard question.

It seemed to me that they wanted to make sure they had the right to pull out the tubes if they didn't want to care for you anymore. I wanted to say "Terry Schiavo" to her, but kept quiet.

At least for the one I have, you can specify that you want to be kept alive.
