Most everybody has a preference as to the type of medical treatment they will receive or forego if their health deteriorates.  The problem, of course, is that some people have lost the ability to communicate their preferences when they actually require healthcare.  By executing a living will, people can avert this problem by making their preferences known well in advance of requiring medical treatment.

Living wills can be very specific or very general in nature.  At one extreme, people use living wills to prevent life sustaining measures upon a terminal diagnosis.  At the other extreme, people use living wills to make sure their life is prolonged for as long as possible.  Still, others use living wills to give specific instructions on pain relief, antibiotics, hydration, feeding and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
