Is your last will and testament really up to date?

Tweet

I never considered adding into my last will and testament something that I felt strongly about, until a few years back, seeing on our tv news, the ongoing saga of Terry Schiavo. I followed the story via the internet and was disgusted in the treatment and messages some people had left regarding, her then ex-husband's plea to have her feeding tube removed so she could pass away. I re-did my last will and testament there and then, making it very clear of what I did and did not want to happen to me should I not be conscious and make decisions for myself. My will now states that under no circumstances is there to be a feeding tube inserted into me unless I am fully conscious and will agree to it. My will also states that under no circumstances am I to be resusitated (DNR). It also states that I am not to be kept alive on a life support machine. Such a machine may only be used should I be recuperating from major surgery where I am not conscious due to sedation only. This is such an important matter to be added to one's last will and testament. My heart bled for ex hushand and the traumatic time he was subjected to..the accusations that were made too were so unfair. I will not allow anyone in my life to be subjected to what he had to go through for...what...15 years! Have you got this subject sorted out in your last will and testament?
