Thanks BJungNam, I hope neither of us has to be in the position of having to watch someone die of thirst or be the person to watch someone die that way.

My dilemma is how can I sign a living will knowing that someone I love must make a decision to let me die of dehydration?

Or how can I make that decision for someone I love? And then be with them as they die?

I am pretty tough, but those are circumstances I don't know how to face.

People think that if they sign a living will everything will be easy.

Somehow I don't think so.

Again I just have questions, and no answers.

You need not worry. The first thing a hospital asks
when you go in for any surgery is, "Do you have a
living will?" And you have to present it at the
hospital. Mine is on file at our local hospital.
So is my wife's.
