You could pay somebody to hire a hitman for you when the situation arises.
You know, the funny thing is, while I don't have a proper will, I do have the idea that if I'm ever in a persistent vegetative state (like Terri Schiavo was) with no chance of recovery, I'd ask to have the plug pulled, and that if it takes too long (once again, like Terri Schiavo, who took 13 days to die after her feeding tube was removed) , the people in charge should hire a hitman to take me out. When you're a morbid teenager with issues with depression (as well as a dying grandmother) coming of age just as the Terri Schiavo case becomes a media circus, you kind of think about these things quite a bit, especially at the time. Admittedly, not so much now, but thinking it over, I'd stand by that idea.
