Do you feel that your body is a temple? How do you treat it? Are you the type that exercises daily, eats only all organic vegan food and never misses a vitamin in your supplement regimen or the pizza, beer and marathon TV type? Would you preserve yourself with cryogenic methods? Just as every American has the right to treat his or her body the way he or she chooses, every American has the constitutional right to decide how he or she would prepare for the end of life. Specifically, to decide on how artificial life support will be used if you were to find yourself in a coma that turns permanent or a permanent vegetative state, Terri Schiavo's diagnosis.
Today's life support systems can keep a person's body alive for years, even once the brain stops functioning or if the individual is in constant pain. While most people establish a Last Will and Testament to handle property once they die, a Minnesota living will is a document which simply indicates whether or not you would like to be kept on artificial life support.
Take control of these difficult decisions in advance. Indicate any special wishes or instructions and rest assured that if you change your mind, a Minnesota living will may be cancelled or revoked at any time. LegalZoom can help you take control of health care decisions quickly and easily. Prepare your customized Minnesota living will online, today.
