| Title |
Evanescence of living wills |
| Date |
1988 |
| Description |
Ordinary wills dispose of property after death. Living wills direct medical treatment at the end of life, before death has come but when competence is lost. The analogy explicit in naming living wills after ordinary wills emphasizes that both speak after their maker no longer can express voice, about a very important part of life's closure. |
