Not the last will, but pretty close
This is for my own protection and is prompted by the recent debates over the right of someone to die with dignity. I have no plans to die for many, many years, so don’t get all freaked out. But if it ever happens that I’m in a vegetative state, coma (longer than, ummm.. let’s say a year), or have some mental disability that prevents me from caring for myself or communicating effectively:
KILL ME!
Do me a favor, won’t you? I don’t want to become the center of a debate and I don’t want my loved ones bickering over whether to keep my flimsy and useless body pumping along for no reason than moral edification. I’ll be of no use to anyone and unable to fulfill my societal and familial obligations. That’s no way to be. Donate all of my organs and hollow me out like a pumpkin. I don’t need that stuff.
My body: no coffins. Throw me in the fire and throw my ashes in the dump. No one needs them either.
Again, I hope this never comes to pass, but I beg of you.

You called it. You get first dibs!
good plan except whoever does it will be arrested. surprisingly enough the victim’s consent is not a defense to murder. oh, nto to be oportunistic or nuthin, but i’m calling dibs your computer equipment (both the apple and the pc)
Oregon, a state where I don’t live (**COUGH***) has the nation’s only death with dignity law. Read’em and weep!:

WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I am strongly in favor of euthanasia. In fact I wrote two papers in support of it–one in high school and one in my college philosophy class. Surprisingly my blindly republican grandmother, who runs the Hospice care center in my lovely hometown of Longview, WA, is also in favor.
But with regards to the goods boys, sorry, but I’m sure he’s leaving it all to me cause he loves me most!
