What is a Living Will?
This document expresses your wishes in regard to medical care, medication and resuscitation for when you are unable to communicate your wishes. It is written in advance and important for the terminally ill to have in place. If you are unlikely to recover, it will generally allow for pain relief but nothing more to prolong your life.
