Must Minorities Reconsider the Living Will?

Most of us have been tuned in to the Terri Schiavo situation. The subject is a top search mover on the most popular search engines. Updates are on every news channel. Many are anxiously awaiting the autopsy results. Lawmakers are reassessing current laws. And, everywhere we look there is an article on living wills. Even minority individuals who have a history of distrust of the medical system and have generally shunned living wills are thinking about life and death decisions and who should make them. And still, many don’t have a living will. Although the case has spurred much conversation, many of us are still no closer to knowing what we would or should do given these life choices than we were before the Schiavo situation.
