Overview
Now that medical science can keep people alive almost indefinitely, every person should consider having a living will. Without a living will, doctors and hospitals must make decisions on whether to continue life support, instead of the patient making these decisions for him or herself.This valuable guide to writing living wills contains appendices of state-by-state information on requirements and restrictions, easy-to-use, blank, tear-out forms, a detailed index and a glossary.
