The “Living Will” provides advanced directives towards what you want to have happened to you if you go on life support. It is not the hospital’s choice, on the contrary it is the individual choice whether to be resuscitated, kept alive by artificial means, and if you want to be an organ donor. In my detailed instructions, it would state that I would want to be resuscitated because, honestly, you never know what could happen. It is better to give yourself a fighting chance as opposed to giving up, when no one knows if you could have been saved. Next, I would want to by kept alive by artificial means, but for only a short amount of time, like 3 days. After 3 days, in my opinion, your chance of survival is extremely low, as the first day you go on the machine, the clock is ticking for you to get better. Also, I would not want to stay on the machine forever because that gives your loved ones false hope that you will wake up. I would want to be an organ donor because if I cannot use my organs anymore, than why not give them to someone who can live if they can get a healthy replacement. “Living Will’s” must be detailed because any confusion will cause a dispute as to what should be
