5.  According to "Patient Help" (2000), Making a "Living Will"
or becoming someone's "legal proxy" or appointing one for
ourselves is something we should all think about doing. If
we wait and put it off it may become too late to act upon
this. Unfortunately illness or injury or circumstances can
unexpectedly happen at any time, making us unable to
appoint the person we want to handle all our medical
affairs, legal affairs and wishes. To make sure this doesn't
happen, learn about and download a "living will" at these
