Aims to protect patients with written notification of their right to refuse or consent to medical treatment using this act as an important vehicle for improving the health care decision-making process. Explains the social, legal, and ethical background to the act by focusing on well-known cases such as those of Karen Quinlan and Nancy Cruzan, and explores ways in which physicians and other caregivers can help patients face the complex issues in contemporary health care practices.
