It addresses true medical situations and treatment choices. Advances in medical science happen all the time, and the laws can change within the state and across the nation. It is wise to discuss your plan with your primary doctor every few years or whenever you have questions. They must know your wishes regarding health care. That is the only way they can be expected to honor your personal choices near the end of life, and at the same time show their respect and love for you.
Every life has an end, and health care has limits.
It is better to accept and prepare for a comfortable and peaceful death, rather than be put through a nightmare of intensive care with tubes and machines involved. Medicine's mission is to add years and quality to life for as long as possible. When cure of a fatal condition is not possible, providing comfort and dignity to the dying is the proper care.
