These are not decisions to be made by the government or a presidential candidate.
My parents are 86 and 92. They have had in place for many years a half dozen documents that indicate their desire to have nothing done at end of life - including no feed tube. The documents they signed are brutal and just reading them is heart breaking as they are very specific but my parents took responsibility and made their own courageous choices.
Taking inspiration from them I have had my own documents drafted by an attorney and I am reviewing them this week.
