**Her final gift to him, he said, was the preparations she had made for death, including advanced directives that outlined her wishes not to be left on life support.**

There is something in me that just cannot accept this. It’s like saying a person wants to commit suicide.

My personal opinion.

And so, God willing, you will be able to reach the end of your life as you see fit.

I cannot agree that advance directives are barely concealed suicide notes. I’m sure my sister and I could have kept our mother alive a few days, maybe even a week longer had we ignored her wishes.

To what end?
