My Living Will

Vegetation
If I am ever in a state of vegetation (coma) where it seems unlikely that I will come out of it, I would prefer to die.

Life Support
If it is short term (less than 3 months), then use your discretion. If the prognosis is bad, then end it quickly.
If it takes more than 3 months, that is too long: end it shortly thereafter.
If my brain becomes dead or a constant vegetable, then don’t try. Give up hope early.

Brain Dread
If I’m brain dread, I am dead. Let me go.
