Advance Care Planning. Preferences for Care at the End of Life
Description
In our society where so much attention is devoted to the immediacy of daily life, issues like serious illness and death are never easy to think about or discuss. But ignoring these topics can have devastating consequences. This program tells how a growing number of people - both young and old - are taking a proactive role through a process known as advance care planning. The process includes completing a living will and a medical power of attorney, and considering organ-donation options.
