Living Will Kit Overview!

Have you ever considered what you would want to happen if an accident or an illness left you in a coma or in a permanent state of unconsciousness? Or, what if you were diagnosed as suffering from an irreversible terminal illness? Would you want to have your life prolonged by any means possible – even at the expense of your quality of life? Or, would you prefer to have a natural death?

A living will is a legal document that allows you to express your preferences regarding the receipt or non-receipt of certain life-prolonging medical procedures in the event that you become terminally ill or permanently unconscious and unable to communicate your own wishes. These life-prolonging medical procedures are generally aimed at keeping you alive (sometime artificially) rather than fixing the underlying problem which is often virtually untreatable (such as multiple organ failures or severe brain damage).

If the absence of having a living will, close family members will generally be allowed to make life-sustaining medical decisions for you during any period in which you are terminally ill or permanently incapacitated and unable to make these decisions yourself. While this can be beneficial for you, there is always a risk that your family members would make decisions based on what they believe is best for you rather than what you would actually want in the circumstances.
