We actually don't have much stuff or money, so it wasn't material issues so much as various "what ifs" that getting the wills helped us to sort out.

I've always thought that M.Giant should get my guitars, my former roommate gets all the unfinished writing stuff, and my brothers should divide up my books and music amongst the neices and nephews. Really, that's all I have worth passing on. As to the feeding tube, I guess I'm of the opinion that if 5% or 10% of people are tough enough to claw back to consciousness in the same situation, then I'd like a shot at it... but not forever. And I'm remarkably open to extreme or experimental measures, if the team has tried everything else.
