The New State of Florida Living Will Form

[Martrae]

Florida - Living Will

I, _________________________ (fill in the blank), being of sound mind and body, unequivocally declare that in the event of a catastrophic injury, I do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means. I hereby instruct my loved ones and relatives to remove all life-support systems, once it has been determined that my brain is no longer functioning in a cognizant realm. However, that judgment should be made only after thorough consultation with medical experts; i.e., individuals who actually have been trained, educated and certified as doctors.

Under no circumstances -- and I can't state this too strongly -- should my fate be put in the hands of peckerwood politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it. Furthermore, it is my firm hope that, when the time comes, any discussion about terminating my medical treatment should remain private and confidential.

Living in Florida, however, I am acutely aware that the legislative and executive branches of state government are fond of meddling in family matters, and have little concern for the privacy and dignity of individuals.

Therefore, I wish to make my views on this subject as clear and unambiguous as possible. Recognizing that some politicians seem cerebrally challenged themselves (and with no medical excuse), I'll try to keep this simple and to the point:

1. While remaining sensitive to the feelings of loved ones who might cling to hope for my recovery, let me state that if a reasonable amount of time passes -- say, ____ (fill in the blank) months -- and I fail to sit sit up and ask for a cold beer, it should be presumed that I won't ever get better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my spouse, children and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it a day.

2. Under no circumstances shall the members of the Legislature enact a special law to keep me on life-support machinery. It is my wish that these boneheads mind their own damn business, and pay attention instead to the health, education and future of the millions of Floridians who aren't in a permanent coma.

3. Under no circumstances shall the governor of Florida butt into this case and order my doctors to put a feeding tube down my throat. I don't care how many fundamentalist votes he's trying to scrounge for his brother in 2004, it is my wish that he plays politics with someone else's life and leaves me to die in peace.

4. I couldn't care less if a hundred religious zealots send e-mails to legislators in which they pretend to care about me. I don't know these people, and I certainly haven't authorized them to preach and crusade on my behalf. They should mind their own business, too.

5. It is my heartfelt wish to expire quietly and without a public spectacle. This is obviously impossible once elected officials become involved. So, while recognizing the wrenching emotions that attend the prolonged death of a loved one, I hereby instruct my relatives to settle all disagreements about my care in private or in the courts, as provided by law. If any of my family goes against my wishes and turns my case into a political cause, I hereby promise to come back from the grave and make his or her existence a living ____ (fill in the blank)

[Harrison]

Don't mind me, I'm saying fuck florida for wholly different reasons than that article will depict.

[Eziekial]

I love Florida. It's the people there that chaps my ass.

[Harrison]

Well hey! two more on their way!

I just figure that by next year I will have no friends left that live within 500 fucking miles of me.

Last time I was in Florida, it was during Red Tide. It smelled like grossness and I didnt want to go back for a very long time. I havent been back in a very long time.

That is the dumbest piece of trash of a "will" I've ever seen. Obviously authored by a left-wing kook. Then again, to call a left-winger a "kook" is quite a redundancy.

[Arlos]

IT'S A FUCKING JOKE WILL, you microencephalic, congenitally defected lackwit! My fucking gods, I've shat liquid diarrheal turds that had greater intellectual capacity than you do. Please, do the ENTIRE world a favor, and promise to NEVER breed.

I know it was a joke you idiot. It was a very stupid joke. Do me a favor and slap yourself upside the head... it might knock some sense into you.

[Eziekial]

Did that work for you, Mindia?

[Gypsiyee]

Out of curiosity, why was it made by a 'left-wing kook'? Is it hard for you to believe that there's a possibility that a republican wouldn't want to be made a spectacle of for so long?

Lighten up, Mindia. It was a joke, funny haha? Just because you (claim to be) Christian doesn't mean you can't have a sense of humor.

Jesus never laughed and he is as holy as Jesus...atleast in his own eyes.
