BINGO!
All of my estate planning clients execute the NRLC “Will to Live”.
I include it at no cost.
I just guest lectured for a college medical ethics class about end of life issues and the Will to Live and rationing under Obamacare were topics I addressed.
I’d like to add that the Will to Live is NOT the same as the Living Will. The Will to Live gives more choice to the patient, and is in keeping with from inception to natural death.

We took it to our attornry and she had no idea what it was. She asked for a few days to research the legality of the document and then bssically challenged us at every step when we met to fill it out. All we really want is nutrition, hydration and antibiotics for infections but she thought those were extraordinary means of care and kept asking why we would spend the money? She said most people say get it over and let them go so there is money left for the kids.
