Do all you women out there have a Living Will?

Hi
I am wondering if you all have living wills (advanced directives)? These are specific and enforceable instructions on what to do if you get seriously ill and are unable to tell family or doctors what you want them to do about your situation.

For example, you may not wish to be placed on life support, or have a feeding tube inserted. You may not want to be resucitated if you stop breathing. Or you may be the opposite - and want everything possible done to prolong life.

I don't have one and need to do it. Now.
