 | | “Constitutional rights that cannot effectively be exercised might as well not exist.”
In light of the Terry Schiavo case in Florida, millions have rushed to complete advance directives to ensure their end-of-life choices will be honored. But Living Wills and Powers of Attorney for Health Care designating a surrogate may not be enough.
This book traces the current state of the law, the Patient Self-Determination Act passed by Congress but never fully implemented, and why written documentation of one’s end-of-life choices may not be enough to guarantee one’s wishes are followed.
It also gives helpful information on what precautions should be taken. The book is well-documented, with academic citings, but is written in easy-to-understand language for the average reader. |
