searching Calif laws on this… maybe just whats needed
Voluntary death by dehydration is an option that can be used by anyone, anywhere.
Because it will take a week or ten days to die,
this method of choosing death is not likely to be used to commit irrational suicide.
But in those cases where there might be some question
about the wisdom of dying now rather than waiting for death at some later time,
some simple safeguards can help everyone to know
that this was a truly voluntary death and not an irrational suicide.
Another way to make this point:
Wise safeguards will prevent premature death.

If one has a family, living wills and right to die are taken away as soon as person unable to make decisions for self. Make sure that your dr has a clear knowledge of how you feel! I've been a nurse too long to know that rights of people are gone once you have a legal rep making your decisions for you. Causes many of broken familys and friends.
