AARP: Art Buchwald Gets Last Word on Living Will
Columnist Art Buchwald, who is known for his humorous jabs at politicians, died late Wednesday, according to reports. He was 81. A stroke in 2000 left Buchwald plagued by kidney and circulation problems. After refusing dialysis for his kidney disease, the humorist journalist entered a Washington hospice on Feb. 7, 2006. While at the hospice, Buchwald talked about the importance of living wills, saying they are needed to ensure the wishes of the deceased. Neither Buchwald nor his doctors could say how he survived in such grave condition, and he didn't seem to mind. "Nobody's been able to really explain what's going on because I'm not taking dialysis," Buchwald told The Associated Press in May. "I have to thank my kidneys."
