Living wills are documents that are prearranged by an individual with instructions on what to do in the case of a severe accident or illness.
The baby boomer generation believe that they are too healthy and young to have living wills. An Associated Press study found that nearly 64 percent of baby boomers born between the years 1946 and 1964 say that they do not have an official living will document.
The thought of death doesn’t seem to cross the minds of these individuals who feel like they extremely active and healthy for their age. According to the study, they don’t feel like it will be necessary to have a living will until they are well into their 70s.
Although these people may lead healthy lifestyles, it is still a good idea to possess a living will with requests written out. A living will can be tailored to the individual’s specific requests in different situations regarding life and death.
