The author of this article recommends a
Living Will. These documents often express a patient’s wishes not to be kept
alive by artificial means. Your readers should be aware that food and water are
now considered medical care in all 50 states, rather than normal care of the
sick. That means that people who sign Living Wills may be unwittingly
authorizing their own starvation and dehydration. It is far better to express
your wishes about medical treatment to a loved one whom you trust and instead
sign a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare. That gives your loved one the
ability to insure the best care for you in light of the specific medical
circumstances. – Critical Care M.D.
