Living Will<br><br>

I, _________________________ (fill  in the blank), being of 
sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely 
by artificial means.<br><br>


Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands 
 of publicity-seeking politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade 
Biology if their lives depended on  it.
<br><br>

If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to sit 
up and ask for a cold beer or some chocolate, it should
 be presumed that I won't ever get  better.
 <br><br>

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.

 <br><br>
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 damn 
business, and start worrying about the future of the millions of Americans who AREN'T in a permanent coma by passing universal health care, getting out of the debacle in Iraq, and trying to pay down our $7 trillion debt.

 <br><br>

Under no circumstances shall  any politicians butt into this 
case .

 <br><br>
I don't care how many Fundamentalist votes they're trying to 
scrounge for their run for a future presidency, it is my wish 
that they play politics with someone else's life and leave me 
alone to die in peace.

 <br><br>
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.

 <br><br>
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.
 <br><br>
