Last Wishes Tattoo

Mary Wohlford, an 80-year old retired nurse in Iowa, has "do not resuscitate" tattooed on her chest in hopes that it will make her wishes clear if she is ever unable to communicate them verbally. From the Des Moines Register article:

"People might think I'm crazy, but that's OK," Wohlford said. "Sometimes the nuttiest ideas are the most advanced."

Medical and legal experts expressed doubts that Wohlford's tattoo would prove binding, either in the emergency room or in the courts, but they give her credit for originality.

"I'll be darned," said Bob Cowie, a Decorah lawyer and chairman of the Iowa Bar Association's probate and trust law section. He added, "There are easier ways to do it than that," such as signing a living will or authorizing a medical power of attorney.

Said Wohlford: "I don't believe in lawyers too much."
