Related: a few years ago, I researched advance medical directives. They’re surprisingly easy to make in the USA. They made a federal law about it in 1990, so you just have to fill out a short form (which differs for each state). The forms for each state are all available here.
The main decisions are:
designating someone to make health decisions for you, when you’re unable
providing general guidance on whether to prolong your life in various situations
whether it’s ok to donate your organs to others
Fill out the form, store it and some copies somewhere sensible, and you’re done.
