Bloggers Encourage Families to Talk About Last Wishes

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, many bloggers teamed up to write about the issue of "right to life." They urged all families to have a discussion about each person's individual wishes, concerning life support. This "blog rally" was inspired by a woman whose sister-in-law watched as her husband made the decision to let his sister die at home. The family had never discussed the woman's last wishes, and the brother was forced to defy the doctors' orders to keep the comatose woman on life support and bring her home.

By having these conversations with your loved ones, you can avoid painful and lengthy court battles over the right to life. This is a highly controversial issue that can take years in courtrooms and thousands of dollars in medical and legal expenses. If, however, you do have the misfortune of dealing with the untimely passing of a loved one, and would like to remove him or her from life support, contact the healthcare law professionals at Kerstein, Coren & Lichtenstein LLP today.
