Some important lessons here:
* It’s important to have a lawyer present when you draft a living will, as it makes the desire to be dead that much more tangible.
* Specify which flavor of feeding-tube nutrient you prefer. Otherwise, you may get stuck with cream of mushroom day in and day out.
* If, in the event of a catastrophic brain injury, you wish to be taken off life support and kept out of the guardianship of your overprotective Catholic parents, underline those directives over and over with a thick red pen and then highlight them in bright yellow.
* Leave at least one reasonably flattering photo for the press. This point cannot be emphasized enough.
Sage advice. Especially on cream of mushroom.
