end-of-life decision making  

Définition

  • Several landmark court cases—The Karen Ann Quinlan case in 1975, the Nancy Cruzan case in 1990, and the Terri Schiavo case in 2005—have brought national attention to the significance and importance of having mechanisms in place for implementing care decisions at the end of life. Due to injuries sustained in an accident or unanticipated health events, these women were unable to make their own health care decisions.
