Planning for Uncertainty : A Guide to Living Wills and Other Advance Directives for Health Care

Most of us are uncomfortable with thoughts of our own death or serious illness- and so we put off making decisions that could help ensure that the health care we receive as we are dying is managed according to our preferences and personal values.

Using a question-and-answer format, this book explains why it is important to decide now what you want and do not want at the end of your life- and it shows you how to document those preferences and have them carried out.
