list of product liability warnings for my daughters, to give adequate notice to any potential spouses they might have in the future:

1) "Warning: starving this woman to death by removing her feeding tube, in the event that she should need one, may result in you needing one yourself, after her father beats you senseless."

2) "Warning: In the event that this woman's husband should seek to use his rights as a husband to kill, injure, or otherwise harm her, the father of this woman may seek to resolve the situation by making her a widow."

3) "Warning: If you starve this woman to death, you should earnestly pray that her father has first attained theosis (i.e. sanctity)."

4) "Warning: My daddy considers your esophagus to be a feeding tube, and if you remove mine, he may remove yours."

5) "Warning: Removing a feeding tube from this woman could result in your ending up on Al Jazeera, tearfully pleading to have the feeding tube reinserted."

Disclaimer: This post is intended to be humorous. But the way I was raised would strongly tempt me to beat the snot out of Michael Schiavo... but again, I would hope that I could resist
that temptation. But product liability warnings do not warn you of what will necessarily happen, but just want *could* happen. I would hope that any future
sons-in-law that I might have would be at least uncertain enough that they would not have to test the question scientifically.

Very good DZ

Now if there was actually Living Well specifically stating something that is one thing, but I can just not see anyone wanting to starve to death and when people make the comments "I wouldn't want to live like that" I don't think starving to let them die comes into their mind. Pulling a breathing machine off is usually what comes to mind, or does to me anyway. At least that's quick and if you suddenly breath on your own then super.

A friend of mine's 12 year old daughter was hit by a drunk driver while walking down a sidewalk. She was broke in half, put on a breathing machine and docs said no way would she recover from the coma and if she did nothing could be done for her broken spine. She would always be a vegetable. The mother of course didn't want to take her off the machine but both had to sign the papers to do it. So the father said, Ok lets do this. Disconnect her and if she shows any kind of fight at all we will put it back on her. She died in 5 minutes.
