[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 423838, member: 4362"] My dad had signed one but the doctors continued try and save him even though he was brain dead. I forget how much it was costing to keep him on life support but it was horrendous. My mom had to go to the safe and get the papers to show the hospital what his wishes were. After showing them the papers, they still would not listen and kept him on support - said we might change our minds. Mom had to get our family attorney to go and explain things to them. This is just what my mom needed, all this red tape at such a terrible time. I have signed one myself and hope my children will abide by wishes. Living and quality of living are two different things in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
