BILL HASKETT
WHY SIGN A LIVING WILL?
Recent cases of seriously injured people being kept alive for weeks or
months by artificial life-support systems have brought about a large in-
crease in the number of people who have signed a Living Will. This
document directs that should the signer find himself or herself in
such a position, he or she should not be kept alive by medication, arti-
ficial means or "heroic measures."
The Living Will has won popular support and approval by all major re-
ligious groups. More than three million of the documents have been
distributed.
Supporters say signing a Living Will frees them from the worry that
they may be kept alive, even in a coma, for long periods of time by ar-
tificial means. The "right to die," they believe, is fundamental to hu-
man life.
Whether or not you sign a Living Will is, obviously, a matter of person-
al choice. You may wish to consult your clergyman and family before
making such a decision. If you do decide to sign a Living Will, you
should tell them about your wishes.
As funeral directors, we can tell you where to obtain copies of the Liv-
ing Will.
