Pete, There you go again. Do you <know> what an Advanced Directive is? It has nothing to do with Euthenasia and has ONLY to do with an opportunity to put down in words what you want done for yourself if you get to a point where you are incapacitated. Geez. You should know better than that with your experience in the medical field. It is where you can decide, YOU, and NO ONE ELSE, that if the worse comes to worse, just how far you want them to go to keep you alive... once you are at a point where you are not able to make those decisions for yourself. This has nothing to do with socialism, <illegals>, Obama, health reform or anything except WHAT ARE YOUR PERSONAL WISHES for treatment. Once you are incapacitated, it is difficult to speak with the practitioner and discuss what to do... The health providers I know, wish everyone would have these on file to make decision making easier so NO ONE ELSE has to decide for you. This is for ALL AGES, not just elderly. We all should have one on file to assist our relatives, friends and care practitioners when the worse comes to worse. Give me a break. -Philip
