"Being prepared is EXACTLY what we should be doing....."
Absolutely! In private freepmails and emails and in person I have discussed how we all need to set down and discuss this and be prepared.
This article/oped by Suze is an excellent vehicle for us to do it.
The members of my family are being sent this article by Suze with one question, have you done this?
Here's my problem: I guess I'm not sure myself what to have them do. In terri's case, they made a new law AFTER the fact that included feeding tube. So when (and if) she made a statement about machines keeping her alive, she couldn't have meant feeding tubes. Now what is I say ya, no heroics and I'm in there (afterwards) very much alive saying, "forget all that...dang it...I'm alive in here" OUCH Too late.
I did this before I went over to Baghdad....
the wife has done it now too, at my urging. Except that I doubt I would ever give up on her...
