Whether you are ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ on the whole Terri Schiavo debate, and whether you can even spell or pronounce her name, there’s no doubt that the media has yanked a lot of chains, and spawned a lot of debate.

The natural fallout is a whole lot of sudden interest in living wills, powers-of-attorney, and the whole kit-and-kaboodle. I predict this is going to be the new “in” thing. Seriously, all the cool kids will want one. But before you get all excited and go running off to Office Depot for a do-it-yourself kit, be sure and check out what your friendly neighborhood Washington State Medical Association (WSMA) has to say. It may be a little more up to date (and pertinent to us Washingtonians), for a start.

Click here for a more permanent link that’s a pamphlet on Advanced Directives (living wills, etc.).
