Hi John,

Tell your friends need to have a Will drawn up to protect her wishes. And
anyone, including her daughter, can try to contest it through probate; but
if it is proper legal testament, it will be upheld by the Court.  

I don't see a connection with Alcor because Alcor respectfully and legally
follows the instructions as stated in the Will of the deceased.

Hello everyone,

My friend Ilsa Bartlett (currently studying to be a Buddhist Chaplain)
wanted me to share these thoughts of hers with the list...

Ilsa Bartlett wrote:
I so want to add that from a chaplain's point of view the dead person has no
say after he or she dies and that unless there is a tight power of attorney
who will shepard the dead man's wishes, the living relatives have the right
to do whatever they want.  And legally can both retain the money paid and do
with the body according to their desires.  Imagine that you have no legal
say once you are DEAD!

My daughter told me that I can say anything I want, but that she would do
what she wants, once I am dead.  But in my hospice training I was taught the
actual law that makes my daughter's words the legal truth!
You can check this on the Zen hospice website or with any hospital.
How is it that the Extropes think Alcor is beyond the same laws that makes
the power of attorney stronger than a will or contract?

I will relay any responses back to her.

John
