  4. Your family would probably appreciate it if you planned ahead, just in case. Expect the best; prepare for the worst.

  5. I have Ajai! I have life insurance policies, retirement accounts, a will, and I hug my wife and kids every night.

    Past that if I go to the Doctors office and find I have an illness that may kill me, guess what, I plan on fighting until I die...

  6. Good, your doctor will need to know that, hence the consultation.

  7. Well, now my work experience come into play.

    You may be hooked to a machine, you may be brain dead or unable to speak. Your family will need to know your wishes, as will you doctor. you may then decide it is too much of a financial burden to put your family through this, you may change your mind, you may not, circumstances do change things.
