A lot of goings on in the U.S. news lately around someone not leaving
their express desires regarding this subject in writing.

Therefore to avoid what I see as the degrading and hypocritical
manipulation of another's humanity, I wish to make this statement for
my family and friends to read. I am using this medium because I believe
my statement will be searchable in perpetuity (Thank you, google!).

I omjaroo, omjaram, Jared, do hereby state that under no circumstances
do I wish to be kept alive using "extraordinary" medical methods.
Should I be deemed to be in a persistent vegetative state I wish all
life support to be removed. I unequivocally believe in euthanasia and a
person's right to die should they so choose. (I also believe in
reincarnation and that wherever a person leaves off in this life they
will start up again in the next, so there is little use in deliberately
ending one's life early.) In addition when I die I wish that my
entire body be donated to science to be used and disposed of as needed.


Really though, because of my past and because I am poor, I doubt anyone
is going to go out of their way, to keep me alive. But just in case :-)

Namaste

David,

Thank you for your comments.

I addition to being a social / philosophical / yogic comment intended to
encourage sharing / thought / discussion, my post really is a record of
my desire / intention in this regard, should anyone ever need to know.
Personally I don't care what happens to my empty vehicle once I am
through with it. I do not have any superstitious believes regarding dead
bodies. Social customs / traditions around death are for the living and
I think it is helpful for the living to know the intentions of the
deceased.

Namaste
