Why Have an Advance Medical Directive?
![]() Deciding What You Want Having an advance directive is important for everyone, young or old, since accidents and illness can strike at any age. But, before making an advance directive, you need to think about what's important to you in life. How would maintaining or losing the ability to do the things you value affect your choice of treatment? You also need to understand the range of medical treatments available. Then you can decide the level of care you'd want, depending upon the medical condition and the likely outcome of treatment.
