To the Editor:
We have a 100 percent mortality rate. But too many people never engage in a process of thinking about and planning for their deaths so that they can die, to the extent possible, on their own terms in accord with their values and beliefs, religious and otherwise.
Those 18 and over should have discussions with loved ones and appoint a health care agent (or durable power of attorney for health care), a trusted person who will be a strong advocate to make health care decisions consistent with the wishes of the patient, if the patient no longer can make such decisions.
