Leave something in writing stating your preferences. However, it should be noted that she never told anyone (except her untrustworthy "husband") that she wanted to die, and I'll bet she never told anyone that she wanted to die a slow death by starvation.

In any event, we don't know what she would have wanted, because she never told anyone who could be trusted. We only know that as a Catholic, it would be highly unlikely she would choose death over life--and as the thinking human being she was before becoming incapacitated, it was even more unlikely she would choose to die via starvation.

One thing this incident has accmplished--I've filled out my living will, and left explicit instructions as to what I want done should I fall into a vegetative state (I mean a real one). I've spelled it all out. So has Dear Hubby. No one will have any doubts, as they do in this case.

I've noticed that when it came time to pony up with some facts I stopped hearing from you. Not suprised.
