Someone very close to me was recently telling me how she’d been left with the decision to resuscitate her husband in the event of a heart attack. He had fallen into a coma and had no Advance Medical Directive. I know this is very depressing to think about. Who wants to even consider it, but the truth is, I want to be in control of my medical treatment in the case I’m left incapacitated. And who REALLY wants to leave this decision to loved ones who, if had their way, would never want to see you go. By simply filling out this form and talking with your doctor, you will effectively be visiting a “death panel”. Seems more like “personal independence and responsibility until the end” to me…
