More people are thinking about how they want to die

[dArKeR]

Interest in living wills -- the documents that let people specify what medical measures they want or do not want at the end of life -- has surged in the aftermath of the fierce nationwide battle in the US over the fate of Terri Schiavo, according to lawyers and other experts on all sides of the issue.
While interest peaked around the time of Schiavo's death on March 31, it is still strong, these experts say.

Many people are filling out the forms for the first time. Others are taking a new look at forms they filled out some time ago. Most living wills describe the conditions under which people want life support withdrawn, but others demand the fullest extent of treatment.

1. I want to be stuffed and placed on the couch as constant reminder

2. I know I have to die sometime,

I just don't want to be around when it happens! :shrug:

3. I want to be shot down by freepers while leading some march

for some progressive cause and to be wearing a DU t-shirt (I have to get one of those) and then pictures of me lying on the side of the road clinging to life with my blood-stained DU shirt on in the arms of my wife who is screaming at the assailants (think Kent State) and I with, still clinging to life have some defiant look on my face and then the pictures go out over the AP wires and I become a martyr of the left! Meanwhile, DU gets major exposure via my blood-soaked t-shirt! Win-win!
