Abstract:
A living will is a record of the patient's willingness to choose the medical care plan at the critical or dying stage when the patient is conscious.Due to the influences of traditional ethical ideas,policies,laws,medical service supply and other factors,the social implementation of living wills face great obstacles.Therefore,we should strengthen the education of citizens' view of life and death,improve the specific operation procedures of living wills,and establish a national security system for palliative care,so as to better promote the development of hospice care in China.
