This is a very touchy subject in the US. There are no papers you an sign that will allow your doctor to end it all. Right now my sister is confronted with taking care of my step-mother who has Alzheimers and has become very angry and hostile in the last month. Her health is good but her mind is just gone. It has been months since she has known anyone.

I have signed a living will that stipulates not to take extraordinary means to keep me alive. I wish that there was a way for me to sign an order that would allow they to terminate my life if I ever get to that state.

My father went in a flash and i pray that I go the same way. I do not want my family pulled down prolonging my death.
