How you live matters- to the end
What is a living will?
A Living Will is a way to document your medical wishes for when you are terminally ill and unable to communicate.
Who should make it?
- Those who are healthy
- Those who have a serious illness
- Those in their last days
How to start?
Think of a situation in which you are seriously ill. What sort of medical care would you like to receive? Would you want to be on the ventilator? Would you want to be in the ICU in the last few days of your life?
