No, I obviously didn't look around for a template of some kind.

*My name here*
Living Will
If I find myself in a situation where I am still alive, but clinically brain dead, with no hope of recovery according to no fewer than 3 separate professional opinions, my wish is that I would be kept alive for no longer than one year, but no fewer than four weeks. The actual time at which you may "pull the plug" is left up to the discretion of my Wife, *my wifes name here*, or in her absence, my children. If my children are incapable of this decision or also absent, authority over my fate may go to my Parents, *my parents names here*, and then to my siblings, who may confer with each other on the matter.
I love life, and have a strong will to live, and so I hope every avenue of treatment is explored and every hope of recovery is extinguished before this decision is made, but it is my ultimate desire to not be a financial and emotional burden on my loved ones for an extended period of time, and so after no longer than one year of this nightmare, lets end it, for all of our sakes. |
