Care and Treatment Decisions: What Would You Choose?
If an illness leaves you paralyzed or in a permanent coma and you need to be on a ventilator, would you want that?
If your heart stops or you have trouble breathing, would you want to undergo lifesaving measures if it meant that, in the future, you could be well enough to spend time with your family?
If a stroke leaves you unable to move and then your heart stops, would you want to be given CPR? If the stroke also affected your thinking, does that change your decision?
What if you are in pain at the end of your life, do you want medication to treat the pain, even if it will make you drowsy and tired?
What if you are permanently unconscious and then develop pneumonia, would you want antibiotics or to be placed on a ventilator?
If you were at the end of life and dying, would you prefer to spend your last days in a healthcare facility or would you prefer to spend your last days at home?
