A living will allows a person to leave advance directions about possible medical treatment and intervention in case there comes a time when he or she cannot make decisions. The high profile case of Terri Schiavo illustrates the importance of being able to make these decisions so it is not left at the hands of the family who are already suffering, or the doctors.
A living will sets out the wishes of a mentally competent adult as to what treatment would accord with their wishes in the case of an illness or accident which might leave them with little or no prospect of recovery and unable to communicate. This should move some of the burden from the family who may need to make a difficult decision and by knowing what the patient wants means that doctors are more likely to give appropriate treatment.
