[ExI] Signing your death warrant

[Brent Allsop]

Thanks for bringing this up Rafal,

I'm completely frustrated with not knowing what to do with this, or what
kind of "advanced life directive" I need.  I'm signed up with Alcor, and
expected they would provide me with one.  I asked them, probably only once,
in passing, quite a while ago, so it is probably my fault, but I am
completely frustrated that they aren't at least providing a sample one, and
telling me what is and isn't important, for Alcor to be most likely able to
do what they need to do.

Where does one go, to find a sample "advanced life directive" that is
compatible with being signed up with Alcor?
Do any of you  Alcor people out there have one?  Could I see a copy?

Brent
