Subject: END OF LIFE ISSUES
1) do you have a living will? No
2) on a scale of 1-10 (10 being very important), how important do you
consider having a living will to be?? 8
3) when do you consider to be the natural end of life?? I would like to
"check out" when I lose the physical, mental and emotional ability to be
an asset (rather than a liability) to the ones I love.
4) would you like to be kept alive by feeding tubes and breathing tubes?
Just long enough to determine if I would soon be an asset (See #3, above).
A week or two, tops.
5) what is the governments role in this issue (Gov. Jeb Bush ordered her
feeding tube re-inserted)??? The only possible valid role for government
is to act to protect the wishes of the patient. I think Jeb Bush is
practicing a cynical, inappropriate game of politics.
6) on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being very religious/spiritual), how
religious/ spiritual
do you consider yourself to be? 8
