How to Write Your Own Living Will
by Sphinx Publishing Inc (Paperback)

Now that medical science can keep people alive almost indefinitely, frequently at an exorbitant cost, every person should consider having a living will. If you are in a life or death situation and are unable to communicate, your family could be forced to decide if they should continue or stop life support measures. This simple document could be the only way your family and doctors will know of your desires regarding your medical treatment.

Guardianship, Conservatorship and the Law (Oceana's Legal Almanac Series Law for the Layperson)
by Oxford University Press, USA (Hardcover)

In general, guardianship is defined as a legal relationship between a capable adult-known as a "guardian"-and a "ward"-i.e., an individual who, by reason of infancy or legal disability, is unable to care for his or her own personal needs and/or manage his or her financial resources.

Assisted Dying and Legal Change
by Oxford University Press, USA (Hardcover)

The question of whether euthanasia and assisted suicide should be legalized is often treated, by judges and commentators, as a universal, ethical question, transcending national boundaries and diverse legal systems. By thinking of the issue in this way, the important context in which individual jurisdictions make decisions about assisted dying and the significance of the legal methods chosen to carry out those decisions is often lost.

This examination suggests that greater caution is needed before relying on the experience of one jurisdiction when discussing proposals for regulation of assisted dying in others. The book seeks to demonstrate the need to explore the legal environment in which assisted dying is performed or proposed in order to evaluate the relevance of a particular legal experience to other jurisdictions. The book ...
