The legal battles between the parents of Terry Schiavo, her husband and Congress have convinced many people on the importance of having a living will. I would not want my loved ones to have to make a decision like that," said Gemma Piscotti. I know how I want my life to end and I feel as though my decisions will be respected because I outlined them in a living will." Piscotti signed-up herself and her immediate family members for the LIFEcard Health service for the sole reason of developing a living will.

A living will is a document that sets out guidelines for dealing with life-sustaining medical procedures in the eventuality of the signatory's sudden debilitation. Living wills would, for example, inform medical staff not to provide extraordinary life-preserving procedures on their bodies if they are incapable of expressing themselves and suffering from an incurable and terminal condition.
