Provide someone (or more than one person) with a copy of this document.

(3) After completing this second aspect of the assignment, write about how you felt completing it as well as the living will above, how it relates to the textbook content, and why it was important to this class. Generally 5 to 6 fully developed paragraphs (500 words minimum) is sufficient. This is the only item you will submit to me for grading (your thoughts and feelings about completing the Living Will as well as the Last Will and Testament and how this assignment relates to the material in the text and the course).
