That, more than anything else about euthanasia, is my main concern and wish. And now that I have a Living Will, which you advocated in the msg. before this one, I expect my physicians, hospital and parents (or girlfriend or wife, should I have one again in the forseeable future) to abide by that document. Btw, these issues were discussed in a patient's rights article in this month's LADIES HOME JOURNAL. Everyone should grab a copy or Xerox it from one in a library. A very good piece, indeed. glw -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!Gary.Warren Internet: Gary.Warren@hnews.fidonet.org
