6. Not yet. I'm 58 and a master procrastinator.

But I should. I've read articles over the years about how it's mostly doctors and other medical professionals who make out care directives, because they know that a lot of the measures that are taken in hospitals at end-of-life only prolong the dying process rather than offering any hope of recovery or even comfort. Of course, people want everything possible done to save their loved one's, but they often don't know when they've crossed the line into simply prolonging death.

Better to think about these things, with the advice of a doctor, while you are able.
