A living will is a legal document that allows an individual to outline their preferences regarding medical care in the event they become incapacitated and are unable to communicate their wishes. It serves as an advance directive, enabling individuals to express their desires regarding specific medical treatments, life-sustaining interventions, and end-of-life care. A living will typically covers decisions related to resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, artificial nutrition, and other medical interventions. By documenting their preferences in a living will, individuals ensure that their healthcare decisions align with their personal beliefs and values, providing guidance to healthcare providers and loved ones during challenging times.
