I have, in general, pretty low opinions of doctors, so I’d probably get as many opinions as I felt were necessary then do what I felt was best.

As far as MY wishes go, I figure the decision rests with the living, but I’d prefer they pull the plug before I become a burden.

If, on the other hand, my family is incredibly wealthy, I expect to be kept on life support until the end of time. Or for that matter, they can freeze me and wait until there’s a cure.

I mean if money’s no object…
