advance directives and end-of-life decision making  

Définition

  • Advance directives are oral or written statements given by competent individuals regarding the medical treatment they would like to receive should an incapacitating injury or illness preclude their ability to make or express their own decisions. They are most often used to make decisions when a person is near the end of life, and difficult choices must be made about the use or withdrawal of life-sustaining medical treatment.
