Summary
This program explains the nature and purpose of the Patient Self- Determination Act. Everyone has the right to consent to or refuse medical treatment. By making advance directive decisions prior to incapacitation, patients can have their wishes regarding medical treatment carried out in the event that they have lost their ability to communicate. This program presents simulated conversations between patients, family members, and health professionals, addressing the fundamental question of prolonging life through heroic or artificial means when there is a diagnosis of a terminal medical condition and death is expected soon, or when there is a permanent vegetative state
