According to the Consumer health website, "Living wills and other advance directives describe your preferences regarding treatment if you're faced with a serious accident or illness."

I do have a living will. The reason that I have one is twofold. First, so that my choices are carried out should I not be able to express my wishes when getting treatment. Second, so that the burden of those choices are not put upon my loved ones. Basically, I believe in euthanasia and my living will is filled out accordingly. When my time has come, I do not want to be kept alive just to be alive. I believe in the quality of life not the quantity. Believing this way could put my family in a difficult position if I did not expressly state my wishes. When they pull the plug on me, my loved ones will be able to say, "He would have wanted it this way" and have documented proof!

If you are interested in a living will, here is an example.

And here is a video, "How To Make a Living Will".
