Advance-care directive played a huge role in the slide that she wanted people to include in their talks. This directive “describes in advance the medical care a person wishes to receive if he or she becomes too ill to communicate” (Athena du Pre 225). She talks about how people only die once so they should die the way they want. Advance-care directive would allow people to put into writing exact how they want to die, this would ensure that people are dying the way they want to. Sometimes people become very ill too quickly to express their wishes ahead of time, if they had a advance-care directive it would allow the family to know their wishes before being stuck with the difficult decisions. It takes the decisions out of the hands of family
