Description: The living will issue is about decisions which adults, young and old alike, make concerning their health care. It involves making decisions now so that in the event an individual cannot make healthcare decisions in the future, his or her wishes will be known. An advance care directive is the document in which a person’s wishes for future health care and use of life sustaining measures are recorded.
