Terms of your or your family member's living will?

Anonymous
My husband and I are redoing all of our will/estate documents. In the living will, there's something about withdrawing x, y, z, lifesaving treatments if we are in "a state of persistent unconsciousness." I would like to add a length of time to this, i.e., "for more than a week" or similar, but can't find reliable info about what is a reasonable length of time.

If you have one defined in your living will, would you share it?

We went with standard which leaves room for spouse to make decisions. Hospice will usually help guide you when the time comes.
