Advance directives, autonomy and unintended death
Bioethics 8 (3):223–246 (1994)
| Abstract |
Advance directives typically have two defects. First, most advance directives fail to enable people to effectively avoid unwanted medical
intervention. Second, most of them have the potential of
ending your life in ways you never intended, years before you had
to die.
