Living will form
I___________ (fill in blank) being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be
kept
alive indefinitely by artificial means.
Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of peckerwood
politicians
who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it.
If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to sit up and ask for a cold
beer,
it should be presumed that I won't ever get better.
When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my spouse, children and
attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it a day.
Under no circumstances shall the members of the Legislature enact a special law
to keep me on life-support machinery. It is my wish that these boneheads mind
their
own darn business, and pay attention instead to the health, education and future
of the millions of Americans who aren't in a permanent coma.
Under no circumstances shall any politicians butt into this case. I don't care
how
many fundamentalist votes they're trying to scrounge for their run for the
presidency
in 2008, it is my wish that they play politics with someone else's life and
leave
me alone to die in peace.
I couldn't care less if a hundred religious zealots send e-mails to legislators
in which they pretend to care about me. I don't know these people, and I
certainly
haven't authorized them to preach and
crusade on my behalf. They should mind their own business, too.
If any of my family goes against my wishes and turns my case into a political
cause,
I hereby promise to come back from the grave and make his or her existence a
living
hell.
