DECORAH, Iowa An 80-year-old Iowa woman has made her final wishes perfectly clear -- it's in ink on her chest.
Mary Wohlford of Decorah has a living will and has told her family her wishes if she's incapacitated. Now, she spelled it out with a tattoo that says "DO NOT RESUSCITATE."

Her decision is raising legal issues. Some medical and legal experts doubt the tattoo would be binding in the emergency room or in court.

Bob Cowie of Decorah is chairman of the Iowa Bar Association's probate and trust law section. He suggests people sign a living will or authorize a medical power of attorney.

Wohlford says her decision was the result of what she saw during her 30 years in nursing and during the Terri Schiavo (SHY'-voh) case. The Florida women collapsed in 1990 and never recovered. She died last year after a judge ordered her feeding tube removed.
