A "living will" is the unfortunately misleading name of what is is more properly called an Advance Health Care Directive. This document is used to state an individual's personal preferences with regard to being kept alive by artificial means, such as a respirator or ventilator if a person is in a terminally ill condition and is unable to express his/her wishes. In a shortened form it would simply state that if the person were in a certain type of medical condition wherethere was no hope of recovery and the person did not want to be kept alive through extraordinary measures with feeding tubes and mechanical devices, then the document would authorize discontinuance of such measures so that the person could die a dignified death rather than be kept alive artificially. An Advance Health Care Directive may go so far as to make personal definitions of what constitutes a terminal illness, what constitutes extraordinary measures and other factors. You may also appoint a person to make the decisions in case you are unable to make them, if, for example you are in a coma. This is frequently done to avoid situations where there may be disagreements among family members on what is to be done. The document is not a will at all in the sense of giving away property after death. It is the way to express your personal preferences on being kept alive artificially or not. It is hoped the term "living will" will disappear from legal terminology, but it probably will not for a while.
