Great, insightful advice! One interesting note: I found the expression “error of their ways” a little judgmental – until, after a little thought, I recognized that I’ve done some manipulating myself! So thanks for helping me learn how to avoid hurting others.

Sensitive & informative discussion of a difficult topic. I'd like to add two things:
1. If you wish to use a DNY, have your caregiver(s) tape a big, signed copy of it to the wall by your bed or put it in some other VERY VISIBLE spot, since many doctors & EMTs will undertake "heroic" measures if the DNY is not right in their faces.
2. If you DON'T want a DNY, don't let anyone pressure you into signing it. It's YOUR choice!!
