The former governor of Oregon signed such a statement. The odd thing about it was that when he got cancer and faced chemo and a lingering death, he decided that he wanted to live. And took every extraordinary means to stay alive as long as possible.
Which OR governor was that, not that I would recognize his name?

My sister, who was a neurologist who advised her terminal patients not to use extreme measures to prolong their lives, also changed her mind about it quickly enough when she got ALS. I think, in the end, most of us will want to live vs. the alternative (extreme pain cases may be different).
