I can tell you from personal experience. Living wills have no value where the elderly are concerned, especially if Medi-care is involved. It is purely a triage system.
I believe it! 2 yrs ago I wouldn't have believed it. The article also has a link to info that most states don't require physicians to honor advanced directives. That is scary. The politicians hype it up to get our wishes in writing then we find out that that isn't good enough.
