Although I think it's rather cruel to take a woman's food and water away to let her starve or perish of thirst, I would never have wanted that feeding tube inserted in the first place. If I'm braindead, I don't want to be alive. If I can't eat or drink on my own...let me go.
I've worked in a law firm off and on for a couple of years, so I've seen enough to feel that it's important to have your wishes in writing. But even if you do have a living will, make sure your family knows your wishes.
