Should a living will be part of my dive and travel gear?

Is the healthcare in FLA so poor that the governor is now determining appropriate medical treatment?

:fury:
 
media is so slanted in this country you don't know if you are getting all the facts.

Did this young lady, who is on a feeding tube, have a living will?

If I were her I would say pull the tube. It is when you have other people making decisions for our lives is when you have to be careful.

The husband wants to pull the tube. The other side of her family wants to save her from death. So who is right. There is no "right". So Jeb has given this decision a little more time for it to be played out and have all sides looked at a little closer.

Governments should always decide on the side of life in my opinion. It is, and has been throughout history, easy for governments to decide on the side of death.
 
I wont go into the politics of this since its just getting old with me (she's been like this for 13 years), however, I will stick in and say that everyone that is defined as an adult should have a will, living or otherwise. Don't leave the decisions as to your treatment up to someone else, otherwise this same scenerio could be you and your loved ones.
