Perhaps a directive created by an attorney.
Ahh crap. Don't have the money or even know how that stuff works so I guess I'm screwed...
I would just plan on not failing or using a method like SN which isn't linked to any permanent health issues as a result of attempting. It's unlikely your wish to be unplugged or killed would be respected even if you did have brain damage. Sorry that you are in this position.
I'm actually going to use SN but there isn't much proof that it doesn't cause brain damage here. Most of what is posted here are based on annecdotes. And a person in a vegetative state wouldn't be able to write their own expirience, so idk to me it seems there is still a possibility that SN could cause severe brain damage. Not trying to scare anyone here, just putting my thoughts out there.
Write a note/letter and say: No matter what I do not want to be kept on life support.
Life support costs a lot of money. I think most families don't have the funds nor want to go through with years on end of tending to someone hooked to machines.
I guess that might work in my sitiuation, my family might want to keep me alive (especially my mom) but they wouldn't have enough money so I guess it would make it easier for them to give up. I might still spend some time alive and aware of my intense desire to die though. I read an article about this guy a while ago who let his mom know he wanted to die by blinking twice and that really made me afraid of this thing. It must be terrible.
I don't know why they aren't required to just kill you if you are in this state if you've let them know in a letter you want to die. People are so cruel. Now the thing that was supposed to save me from life might end up making it worse. I dont get a good feeling about this.
