Almost everyone who heard the Terry Schaivo story was touched by the tragedy.  After we discussed her death on Town Meeting, the Illanka clinic was kind enough to provide us with this document which, if filled out by a family member, might help avoid such a situation if one should ever occur with one of our local families.
