This made my day:

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

Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the
hands of peckerwood ethically challenged politicians
who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology
if their lives depended on it.

If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to
sit up and ask for a Tanqueray on the rocks ; cold
beer etc.( substitute your choice), it should be
presumed that I won't ever get better. 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.

Under no circumstances shall the hypocritical members
of the Legislature (State or Federal) enact a special
law to keep me on life-support machinery. It is my
wish that these boneheads mind their own damn
business, and pay attention instead to the health,
education and future of the millions of Americans who
aren't in a permanent coma.

Under no circumstances shall any politicians butt into
this case.

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

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.

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.
