预先指令
你有权做出自己的医疗决定. Often these decisions are made together with your family and the advice of your doctor. It is usually best to include family and physicians in this 过程 to avoid conflict when end-of-life decisions arise: family members may have personal beliefs that differ from yours and physicians may give insight to end-of-life issues not previously considered.
