This volume gives an overview on the currently debated ethical
issues regarding advance directives from an international
perspective. It focuses on a wider understanding of the known and
widely accepted concept of patient self-determination for future
situations. Although advance directives have been widely discussed
since the 1980s, the ethical bases of advance directives still
remain a matter of heated debates. The book aims to contribute to
these controversial debates by integrating fundamental ethical
issues on advance directives with practical matters of their
implementation. Cultural, national and professional differences in
how advance directives are understood by health care professions
and by patients, as well as in laws and regulations, are
pinpointed.
