Strangely something similar was the set up for a hypothetical case I had to dissect in undergrad Bioethics.  What to do about a patient who refused to have his appendix removed because he thought it was the seat of the soul.

I'm told several of the founding fathers of bioethics (like Richard McCormick) came up with it while really really drunk one night after a conference. (They like scotch, a lot.)

I'm nursing a small hangover.  We went to a bar I played in 12 years ago. Heard another classic rock band. The youngest member was my  friend, the drummer, in his early '40's. They were really good. The lead singer looked to be in his fifties, and could sing Zeppelin, the early stuff, real well. My band needs practice...

Ran into a  girl I haven't seen in 10 years  who runs all the non-band stuff they do  there, gave her a card, and might wind  up with a gig out of it. B'Gal thought when she came up and hugged me that she might've been an ex-GF. It took several minutes to convince  her otherwise.

My paperwork says "do whatever makes my wife comfortable." If it makes her feeel better to donate my organs, more power to her. If she'd prefer not, that's good too.  Any choice I make will be irrelevant.

Much of this is going to depend on your standard philosophical leanings.  Standard Catholic theory present (for example) that the soul may leave the body (that sounds dualistic: disentangle may be a better term.) at a point even before physical death processes happen.

I find that idea to be easier to comprehend than "what if part of me survives!" Have you ever had blood drawn? If so there's probably cultured blood cells from you in a lab somewhere, are those part of your soul?

As far as I know, Algeria acted alone and that's why it was such a clusterfark of a "recue" attempt. Gateway Pundit has more, btw.

From Simmons mailbag:

Q: You have established the Levels of Losing. This whole Manti Te'o thing has got me thinking of the Levels of Indefensibly Defending Sports Figures. There has to be a certain level to where you can't defend your favorite stars without coming off as a pathetic, nonsensical fan. If there were five levels in all, Joe Paterno's supporters would be the highest (Level 5). Mel Gibson's fans are a 4 but dying to be a 5. Every Notre Dame fan defending Manti right now would probably be a 3 (with the chance to climb). This idea is in its infancy stages, how can you help?
—Joe, Syracuse

SG: Come on, you barely need any tweaking! You were right there! Fine, I'll help. You should have gone with six levels (you missed one).

Level 1: Reserved for harmless stuff — like Boston fans defending Kevin Garnett every time he acts like a bully or an a-hole (just because he's on our team and we love him and that's what you do when it's your guy), or Cowboys fans blindly defending Tony Romo's litany of choke jobs just because they love Tony Romo, or Miami fans refusing to admit that Dwyane Wade is an occasionally dirty player, or Utah fans arguing that Karl Malone really DID have some clutch moments. All benevolent fan-defending goes here.

Level 2: A blown-out version of the first level — the stakes are a little higher only because there's a little more of that hits-too-close-to-home sensitivity. Like how Ravens fans fly off the handle every time someone jokes about Ray Lewis's incident from 2000. Yes, you could throw Kobe and the Lakers fans in here. As well as Red Sox fans post-2004 right after any steroids joke about Manny or Papi.

Level 3: Any longtime O.J. Simpson fan now making the "If we're going to make excuses for Junior Seau, why can't we make the same excuses for everything that happened to O.J. after he retired? What if he has CTE, too?" defense. This gets its own level. By the way, I'm all-in on the CTE O.J. defense. He should start pushing it right now.

Level 4: Any Notre Dame fan pushing the whole "Look, Manti is the one who's a victim here!" scenario. If you play the catfishing/naive angle hard enough, the "victim" door is juuuuuuuuuuuuuust open enough that they don't sound completely insane. Just marginally insane.

Level 5: Anyone defending baseball cheaters (Bonds, Clemens, McGwire, etc.) with the always hilarious "We don't know for sure" defense or the equally hilarious "Come on, everyone was cheating, any competitive person would have done what they did" defense. All PED defenses go here. So does everyone defending Lance Armstrong's last two decades of lying/cheating/bullying/threatening/intimidating because "he did some real good, too."

Level 6: Anyone who wanted the Paterno statue to stay up; anyone who thinks that Paterno and/or Penn State's administration didn't have an inkling that something was at the very least a little off with Jerry Sandusky; anyone who rushed out a mostly flattering post-scandal biography about Paterno without waiting for the entire investigation to play out; and anyone who said the words, "Well, this may have complicated Joe's legacy, but it didn't change all the great things he did." Welcome to the highest level of Indefensibly Defending Sports Figures.

Living wills are a bitch an a half to get enforced.  Someone would have to challenge the status quo first.

Also if you live in Missouri (I dunno if you do) make sure to fill out all the proper forms. We're a wierd state where "Nutrition and Hyrdration" is actually a special subsection of the living will. (Thanks Cruzan case!)

198...Have you ever had blood drawn? If so there's probably cultured blood cells from you in a lab somewhere, are those part of your soul?

But blood will eventually get processed out of the body...unlike an organ, which could live on for years and years.

I was told there would be no math on this blog.

But the answer is 1.

Solving the right half of the equation first, (2+1)=3, 2x3=6. so we are left with 6/6. Equals 1.

equation should read:

     6

_______   

2(2+1)

Therefore, answer is "1"

Under those circumstances, your having a living will could alleviate some of his stress and grief.  If you don't have it and he has to pull the plug, well, he pulled the plug.  He made that decision and has to deal with that guilt.  If he doesn't pull the plug and keeps you in a vegetative state against your wishes because he can't let you go he has to deal with the guilt of going against your wishes because he can't let you go.

It takes that part of the responsibility off of him.

@Wheatie,

DNR's are techincally doctor's order's anyway.

I learned at my last conference that most surgeons suspend them while you're on the operating table, so they aren't foolproof by any stretch of the imagination.  (Plus docs are afraid of getting sued, which is why they're so hesitant to overrule family members.  Have you seen a fultility policy?  You basically have to be already dead before it can be invoked.)

Sounds about right, althogh I don't think that kicks in until 2014.

Also if you have an emergency and need an ambulance (or treatment) before you have a chance to fill out insurance forms, you might be on the hook for a pretty penny.

I expect hospitals will start having "insurance specialists" on staff though.  Not actual people from "InsuranceCo." because they won't want those patients. But hosptial employees whose job it will be to sign up all the uninsured to help the hospital bottom line.

The legal document may help with that (in the sense that they can say "well it's what they wanted."  Thus providing an outlet for them.  But that's about it.

Maybe make sure your General Practicioner knows? (Mine doesn't even set foot in a hospital anymore, so that's a wash for me.)

I'd avoid the DNR's unless you're sick enough already you'd rather them not try.  To many possible misinterpretations. (Frankly, I'd like them to try first.)

The wife and I agreed to a tested time trial.  Give it 6 months (or a year, I forget what we decided) then you can say you tried. It makes her feel better than "yank it bitch!"
