I need to download form stating "no artificial life support for me" to give my kids. Where?

A legal form that states: should I be unable to speak, and/or comatose, I do not want to be hooked up to machines to be kept alive. Where can I find a copy of the form on the internet?

This is such an important thing for all of us to do. You need to do a Yahoo or Google search for "advance health care directive" and your state. They are inforcable. Make sure you talk to your family, give them a copy and have your doctor put a copy in your medical chart.

"Advance directive forms and living wills are not complicated. They can be short, simple statements about what you want done or not done if you can't speak for yourself. Remember, anything you write by yourself or with a computer software package should follow your state laws. So, it鈥檚 essential for you to know what the laws are in your state. While you are not required to seek legal advice to prepare an advance directive, it may be a good idea to do so to ensure that the actual instructions for your wishes are stated accurately. It has to be absolutely clear to be enforceable." http://www.helpguide.org/mental/advance_... you can get more information at that site.

If you are in CA, like me, here is a site where you can print out the form: http://www.pamf.org/preventive/ahcd.html

Each state has different laws pertaining to these types of Living Wills. Check out the links below ~ They might be of some help to you ...

I don't think a downloaded form would be legal, at least if someone might contest it, but it's called a "Declaration of Intent and Durable Power of Attorney for Medical Decisions."

My parents did this last year and everyone in the family has to have a copy with everyone's signature, so there was a lot of mailing forms to each other.

It's pretty hefty (50 pages?) so I don't know if it's something you can just download and sign.
