Colby discusses current laws and proposed legislation that affect our ability to make end-of-life decisions and provides insights into decisions we may face about elderly family members, including resuscitation, feeding tubes, and dementia. A portrait of the overwhelming pain that often engulfs families confronting end-of-life decisions, his book also offers tips for writing living wills and an overview of hospice care."--BOOK JACKET. 650 0 $a Terminal care $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Right to die $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Life and death, Power over $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Right to Die $x ethics $z United States. 650 0 $a Euthanasia, Passive $x ethics $z United States. 650 0 $a Persistent Vegetative State $z United States. 650 0 $a Withholding Treatment $x ethics $z United States. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy0614/2006008004.html 941 $a 20 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214022536.0 952 $l GLAX641 $d 20231201010408.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909014836.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210504013952.0 952 $l N4AX745 $d 20201013085036.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528033738.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926090327.0 952 $l MMPE553 $d 20180719035545.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180117040357.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160823070923.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20140415020121.0 952 $l GIPC251 $d 20110114012145.0 952 $l O3AX572 $d 20090806133740.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OSAX771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l N5UX522 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l N3AX771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=615099AC2B0C11DE82774608A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b JIIInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
