I know this is a crazy thing to think about, but I am in a death and dying class so its not all that crazy. So, I'm thinking do animals have a death wish? Everywhere I drive I see dead animals on the road. I have even road over an animal or two. I know they see the car when it is coming but they still try to cross the road. I just do not understand that. I know I'm wrong to say this but I sometime think they need to be hit. If they going to make that decision of crossing then.....you know. It's like they do not care about their lives.
(I can't believe I am writing about something like this. Sorry, had to think about something to write *_*)

The Five Wishes Living Will
For a class assignment I have to make up my own Five Wishes Living Will. The Five Wishes Will was created by Jim Towey. It is wishes that addresses what you things to be done if something should happen to you in the present. I should had been done this but I am lazy:p Here is how I answer the wishes:
Wish 1) The person I want to make care decision for me when I can't: From some reason my grandmother on my mom side is the first person to pop in my head. Along with her my dad comes to mind also. If I can I would want both of them to make decisions for me.
Wish 2) The kind of medical treatment I want or don't want: I want the best medical treatment I can get. I want everything that can help me sustain my life if I am aware of things around me. I do not want to be kept if I am brain dead. If there is no way and I mean no way for me to be cure(check three time with different doctors) from brain deadness. I do not want to be kept alive.
Wish 3) How comfortable I wish to be: I want to be so comfortable that it will feel like I am at home. I want the right medications giving to me. I wan t daily interaction with people so that if feels like I am not really sick.
Wish 4) How I want people to treat me: I want people to treat me like it is just another day. I really do not want to be treated like I am sick. Do not get me wrong, I want to be treated right in giving care for my sickness. I just do not want to be treated like a sick person all the time. I want it to feel like a normal day when I get a visit from someone.
Wish 5) What I want my loved ones to know: I want them to know that I love them and still will love them when I pass away. I want to be bury and not cremated. I really do not want my body to be on show at the funeral home. My thought is, if you could not come to see me when I was alive do not come and stare at me when I am dead. Also I want my close family members(list of names) to check on my body at the funeral home. I want them to see if things okay with my body there.
