Advance Directives—research and discuss the legal and ethical basis for
Advance Directives such as the Living Will and Durable Power of Attorney
for Healthcare. Why are these documents so valuable in healthcare
situations? What legal authority do these documents provide for decision
making by family and/or healthcare providers? Briefly discuss a
situation in which a Living Will might apply and would be of benefit to
those involved. Once you have researched and discussed Advance
Directives, draft a sample Living Will, indicating the type of content
that should be found in such a document. Some students take this
opportunity to prepare their own actual Living Will, and that certainly
is encouraged.
