people are getting mixed up between mercy killing, suicide and assisted suicide - this none of these; this simply states that if I am dying don't bring me back to life.

For the religious amongst you who have said that only god decides when someones time is up, think of it this way: you are defying his will as clearly he has decided the time is now, if you recusitate and bring the patient back to life then you are defying god's decicion.

Now, this woman's decision is to tatoo herself is clearly nonsense because she provides no details, eg. the 'living wills', as they are called, have to be a document legally recognised by medical authorities stating under what circumstances you would not wish to be revived -  clearly if she had a clearly recoverable minor heart attack in the street she would change her tune and the paramedics would quite correctly ignore her silly tatoo.
