Designed for 14 million US baby boomers who will be challenged by Alzheimer's and other dementias and for all who want to avoid prolonged pain and suffering or total dependence and indignity, at the end of their lives.

Offers the strongest available combination of forms, contracts, medallions, and electronic retrieval of documents with built-in safeguards to prevent premature dying.

Do you want to avoid pain and suffering, and years of indignity and dependency after Alzheimer's or another serious medical disease has destroyed your ability to make medical decisions and express your choices?

Learn how Advanced Dementia can affect you and those you love, all your legal options, why others may oppose your wishes, and how you can plan now so your advocate can overcome their future challenges.

This book considers all aspects of a subject that will affect absolutely everyone. It presents the psychological, clinical, religious, ethical, moral, legal, and political aspects of dying. Its clear, step-by-step guides and poignant personal memoirs are lightened with humor and wit to make what could be difficult subject matter surprisingly enjoyable reading.

The unique "book within a book" format makes it user-friendly for all and comprehensive for end-of-life professionals. The book is for all who face life's last chapter, for themselves and for their loved ones.

Transcending the personal-centered high profile political controversy of autonomy vs. faith-based discipline, the book provocatively views Advance Directives as "moral documents." It introduces this noble goal: To honor the sanctity of many lives.
