"Where do you go to get a living-will kit saying that in the event of a hideous accident I don't want to be put to death by a Florida judge or the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals? And, if you had such a living will, would any U.S. court recognize it?"

Those are my questions.

I think the "living wills" thing is ridiculous. Who's to say that some right-to-die lawyer gets a right-to-die judge to determine that you really didn't mean it, your spouse says you weren't in your right mind or some such, and the court orders what they will.

The leftists' great desire for "judicial activism" includes, of couse, the primary weapon of same: ignore "original intent."

The leftists do not want judges to adhere to the original intent that is the basis of our Constitution.

The leftists do not want judges to adhere to the original intent in your will.

In both cases, the leftists work at destroying the original intent of the Founding Fathers, and you, to preserve life, liberty, and property. Whatever the Founders meant, whatever you meant, by judge-made laws and legalisms, is made worthless, moot, inadmissible, or "not credible."

Whereupon, the judicial activists decide for the Founders and for you, what will be their (the leftists, the judicial activists, the judges and lawyers) desires.

I think I'd like to entitle my living will:

A Declaration of Original Intent, This is My Living Will

I think some enterprising lawyer needs to market what I call The Forever Living Will...This forbids anybody from withholding food water or needed medication from an incapacitated person ...it specifically recognizes the right of the holder to be kept alive until the skin falls off their skeleton...This would prevent idiot anti-life judges from murdering people without their express consent...
