The movement to control our own lives and death when the patient’s medical outlook is terrible and suffering is great.

Effectively dealing with modern medicines and equipment that can often keep a terminally ill person alive long past what the patient and loved ones desire.

Importance of having a “living will” and appointment of a person having “medical power of attorney.”
