Living Will

A Living Will (also known as an Advanced Health Care Directive) is a document that tells your doctor or other medical staff about your wishes for life-sustaining treatment, including artificially administered nutrition and hydration, when you are in a terminal condition or in a persistent vegetative state. For example, if medical treatment would only prolong your death, you may specify that treatment be halted.
