Step-by-step explanation:
What is a living will?
A living will is a legal document that specifies the medical treatments you would and would not want to be used to keep you alive, as well as your preferences for other medical decisions, such as pain management or organ donation.
What is its purpose?
The primary purpose of a living will is to provide loved ones with care instructions to follow in case you’re ever unable to act autonomously. This may happen if you become physically or mentally incapacitated, either through an accident or illness. Common scenarios include terminal illness, comas, and dementia.
