>> And here I thought the guys we send to Iraq were tough guys, not a bunch of wimps scared of the notion of a living will.

The problem with that booklet is the bias -- ever so slight, perhaps -- toward making choices to end a life that is percevied as not as good as it once was. There is no choice to say, "Yes, I've got problems but every day I get is a good one" -- and a lot of people feel that way.

The booklet was authored by persons who are pro-euthanasia, and I'm not sure that is the right message to be sending.
