There must be death in life, and life and death are a process of human life.We did not choose the freedom of life. Under the current social morality and values, there is no freedom to choose to die.Death is a hundred for those who live, but the process of the entire death can be long or short. It may be a nightmare for participating in the entire process and future generations who continue to live.If you want to minimize the impact on the post -person, you must first rationally understand the process of the entire death, and try to make some preparations for death management during his lifetime.
At present, there are only three files in Singapore's assistance to the "end arrangement": Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), Advance Medical Directive (AMD), and Advance Care Planning (Advance Care Planning,Referred to as ACP).These three documents provide a good reference for managing death, but when it is truly executed, it is not so simple.Because the social ethics, values, resources, finances, and even legal levels involved in each death are different, if there are some simple guidance principles before they are born in the past, it is convenient for the dependent and LPA executorsIf it is executed, many gray areas will be derived.
If you can end up and go to the end of the night, and the various matters after death are planned in advance, and there is no complicated hand tail to future generations. It is the best situation.However, many people died unfortunately. Patients generally deteriorate from cognitive ability and consciousness to losing cognition and consciousness, and died in the end.
In the absence of consciousness, if you know that the medicine stone has failed and the chance of healing is also very slim, I will choose to give up spend a lot of money to continue my life.But if I have lost consciousness, even if I have signed AMD or LPA, ACP, life and death can actually be made by myself, and I can only rely on my relatives to decide.Therefore, it is necessary for me to announce my rational decision to all relatives, and ask them to make this rational decision for me at a critical moment without wasting the treatment of resources to continue unconscious life.Abduction.I will also retain this instruction and consider to make a physical record to avoid the accusations and criticism of the relatives who are executed in the future.Because this is what I wish, it can also make them feel at ease in the future.
The above situation can be handled rationally, but if I get Alzheimer's disease / dementia in the future, the situation will be much more complicated.According to the current statistics, patients can even last eight to 10 years after infection.The question is whether the family has enough resources to bear the medical treatment and care costs?If an ordinary family is unfortunately so old, the situation is even more worse.
We seem to have fallen into the fate of "modern people will spend half of their lives in the last three years of their lives."Therefore, I also set a instruction for my relatives: If I unfortunately get this "modern century disease", do not use emotions and do force.As long as you provide me with the most basic and dignified survival conditions, don't take care of me into a burden on my family and my own spirit, physiology, and psychological burden. I don't need to care about which space I have roaming.It is the right way to continue normal life.This may be a very difficult rational decision, and can only plan ahead, and now persuade family to persuade family and keep discussing positively.At the same time, I will also open a joint bank account with my relatives, hoping to reduce the economic burden for them then.
We often claim to be open -minded such as Su Dongpo and Tao Yuanming, and we will treat death calmly.There is nothing terrible to die. Following a certain order of life, you should accept it.However, under the framework of ethics, laws, and values in modern society, death can be easy to talk about, but the process is not so simple.
Death may be a liberation of the past, and it may be another toss for future generations.If you really want to learn the poet and philosopher as dying and easy, you must make some preparations during his lifetime (see the remarks version of August 1st, and prepare for sudden death), plus some rational management.At the same time, we must also hope that these measures, instructions, and procedures will be executed as expected in order to be done. You can rest assured that you can slowly walk on the life axis.
