Below is copied an old email message I sent out to some friends. It is difficult to recall the precise emotions as I watched the Schiavo family and their tragedy rehashed ad nauseum in the media. In the end, I hoped the public awareness of Terri's situation would inspire some of us to take steps to avoid a similar fate. Only then can we say that Terrri's passing would not have been in vain and little more than a circus ring used by others in media and politics to push their own agenda.

Subject: Take care of
yourself and your loved ones
What has gotten lost in the
discussions and analysis on news shows is that much of this public tragedy could
have been prevented if Terri had made her choices clear on a simple piece of
paper.
This, of course, does not diminish
the anguish that a family will feel when they begin to understand that their
loved one will likely not recover from a terrible event. However, by addressing
such issues at a time when everyone can discuss them to their fullest extent, we
can each feel that we understand the choices to be made and can accept the
choices made by those we love. And, we can accept the awesome weight of the
decisions necessary when our loved ones can’t speak for
themselves.
In Ohio, Living Wills and Health
Care Powers of Attorney have been available for years. I recommend that you
consult with your family and friends, and with your legal advisor to understand
how these documents work and what they mean in the context of your own health
care and quality of life.
American Bar Association is
committed to encouraging competent adults to take the time to complete advance
care plans stipulating who should make decisions in the event they should become
unable to speak for themselves, and what their basic health care preferences
are. As part of that effort, the ABA has made available a wide variety of free
on-line resources designed to make it easier for people to make the necessary
preparations. Those resources, which can be found at www.ABALawInfo.com, include
forms and information available to the public for download free of
charge.
Further, Living wills and health
care powers of attorney are typically one part of a larger estate planning
process. If you have any questions about this or have never considered your own
estate plan, please contact me. I will be glad to help you begin to understand
the issues related to such planning.
Best Regards,
Sir, MAy I offer an approach of education at levels re the above Living Wills of P O A. Mandatory last year of College and documents issued with renew of drivers liscn. and at rate payment levels.

Regretfully, the explanation is oftentimes something that is so basic it would just need a brief period of time to put into position, but is ofttimes excluded.
