Advances in medical care and technology during the latter half of
the 20th century have prolonged life expectancy in the United
States. However, these same advances have blurred the boundary
between life and death, challenging our expectations about how
Americans could experience the end of life. Many individuals
survive illnesses or traumatic injuries that would once have been
fatal. For others, medical technology only serves to prolong
survival in an unacceptable quality of life. Decisions concerning
life and death issues affect a large and increasing number of
individuals in the United States. This book discusses advance
directives and advance care planning. It examines legal and policy
issues, public engagement, and federal oversight, provider
implementation and prevalence.
