I have very specific medical directives for what is to happen with me and exactly who is allowed to make decisions and under what conditions.

And the "who" is more important that the "what."

I've told my wife that, no matter what the doctors tell her, give me at *least* a week on full life support before pulling the plug. I figure that if it took Jesus three days to come back from the dead, it might take me at least 7 days to come back from a deep coma.

I've also told her that she shouldn't get rushed into the decision just because "So-and-so needs your husband's organs quickly, or they'll die." If So-and-so dies, there's always another so-and-so who I can save a day or two later.
