Three answers to that question, Alex.
You know, two very straightforward and one longer.
The first straightforward is, you know, everybody who wants to should have a health care proxy.
I have a health care proxy.
My instructions are do whatever is going to make your life better.
That's it.
You know, straightforward.
Number two, you know, every state should have a family decision.
