What about pain and suffering?
What about hydration and nutrition?
What is a "no code" or "do not resuscitate" (DNR) order?
When does care become more of a burden than a benefit?
Can someone else make treatment choices for me?
Who should be appointed to make my health care decisions?
Can the individual appointed make a decision contrary to my express wishes or against medical practice?
