Monday morning e03
'Why do you think people even bother with advance directives? I mean if one chooses not to be kept alive artificially, why doesn't one just communicate that to family and friends and next if kin? Why go to all the trouble of executing a legal document? That seems like such a to-do, does it not? One reason might be to save a loved one from making an excruciating moral decision. I have an advance directive. Because should I find myself hooked up to a bloody machine one day, I don't want my wife facing a doctor who says to her,"what want do?" I don't want my spouse in the terrible position where she has to pull the plug and end the life on the one person she loves most of all. Can you imagine causing such agony to someone, doctor?
