A personal directive is like a living will. You sit down now & decide what you want done & when. You may also appoint someone as power of attorney to make decisions for you if you are ever incapacitated, temporarily or permanently. It gives you some control over what happens to you as you age, and who will speak for you. This sure beats some doctor, judge or disgruntled family member deciding for you.
We all remember how the Terri Shiavo story went, this leaves firm demands left by you for people to follow.
