According to The
Guardian, ‘research shows that 70% of adults would like to be cared for and die
in their own home. But great majority of us still die in hospital; today, two
out of 10 are able to fulfil this final wish. . http://www.guardian.co.uk/local-government-network/2012/dec/10/good-death-local-government-end-of-life-care
It may still be a lottery postcode as to
whether we get the support we need to stay at home at the end of our lives, but we do have some control over the kind of
treatment we receive – or to be more precise - choose not to receive.
Euthanasia and assisted suicide are against the law, but thanks to the Mental
Capacity Act of 2007 we can chose to write a Living Will. A Living Will (also known as an Advance Directive
) allows us to state what treatment we want to refuse even if refusing it will bring
about the end of our lives.
it is legally
binding and providing it is relevant to your circumstances at the time it
cannot be overturned. http://www.ageuk.org.uk/money-matters/legal-issues/living-wills/
It is important to think in advance about the decisions
you would like to make if you do not have the 'capacity' at that time to do so. Would you want to be kept alive artificially, or have every effort made to resuscitate you?
We can make our
end of life choices in two different ways:
We can either
appoint someone to have our Lasting Power of Attorney allowing them to
make decisions about our end of life treatment when we are no longer able
to. Alternatively as stated above we can
write it down, but its no good putting it with your Will which will only be read after you are no longer alive, it must be accessible, so make sure your GP and family have a copy.
You may not be
able chose where you spend your last days - but at least you may have some control over how.
