Natural Death With Dignity Protecting Your Right to Refuse Medical Treatment

You could spend decades in a vegetable-like condition, attached to tube feedings or ventilators, unless you issue advance directives. The authors, a lawyer & a nurse, share their own family's tragic experience, as well as analyze state laws & constitutional rights regarding making personal health care decisions. Federal legislation has mandated health care providers inform the public of the option to execute advance directives regarding health care decisions, & of a patient's right to participate & direct those decisions, as mandated by an amendment to the Social Security Act in 1991. NATURAL DEATH WITH DIGNITY meets this mandate! "...a 170-page book that explains how to limit or refuse medical consent. The book contains instructions & legal forms for all 50 states & is available in cloth or paperback format. No special legal or medical training or education is needed to understand the steps outlined in the book."-LIFE INSURANCE SELLING, SPEAKING OF BOOKS. "The authors...explain how living-will rights have been affected by the Supreme Court's 1990 decision in Cruzan V. Missouri. They detail how to prepare legal statutory living wills, personal medical consent throughout the U.S..."
