Advance Directive Opinions?

You should

Mine basically says dont keep me alive as a vegetable

I did this a few years ago

Happy with the decision

It’s an easy form to fill out but I put I didn’t want to be kept alive just to be alive where I needed round the clock care then to just let me go and pull the plug

This way there leaves no doubt

I would. It’s a hot arse mess when you don’t have them.

I had to actively fight with my Dad to sign a DNR for my Mom when she was in hospice (terminal breast cancer that had spread to the brain, bones, liver, stomach, etc). She was adamant that when it reached that point that she did not want to be resuscitated but didn’t have it officially documented. My Dad, in his grief, didn’t want to let her go and tried to fight it.

That’s sad. Heartbreaking to lose your best friend.

I’ve always said I want to be fed to Great White sharks off the coast of seal island, Cape Town, South Africa

You definitely should. Without a doubt. Do not leave it to your family to have to decide what you would want — only you know that.

Mine says to not do anything that will cost money.

I’ve taken notes during this thread and plan on writing mine up as such:

“If I no longer have motor control of my appendages and fail to show neurological functions in speech, after a 14-day period, prevent resuscitation. Afterwards, place my body in a FlexSeal casket, tethered to 4 cinderblocks, and drop me off the coast of Argentina.”

Mine says to pull the plug upon the cessation of brain activity or coma boners, whichever is later to occur
