Advanced directives are legal documents that dictate end-of-life wishes.

Written properly, they make clear which treatments/procedures you want and don’t want.

The U.S. National Cancer Institute suggests this information may be included in your advanced directives:

• Whether you approve use of medical technology, such as dialysis or a breathing machine.
• Whether you want doctors to attempt resuscitation if breathing or heartbeat stops.
• Whether you support use of a feeding tube.
• Whether you support organ or tissue donation.
