As death nears, decisions about treatment, resuscitation, and life support become urgent. This module reviews advance directives, living wills, power of attorney, and the importance of clear, documented preferences. It also discusses ethical questions such as autonomy, consent, and the right to refuse or withdraw treatment.

The educational series is organized into interconnected modules, each addressing a vital aspect of the end-of-life journey. The modules are designed for both individual exploration and group discussion, blending expert insights with personal narratives.
