Quatrième de couverture : "Les directives anticipées sont au coeur de l’actualité. Elles mobilisent la question du droit autant que celle du fonctionnement des institutions de soins et des lieux d’hébergement pour personnes âgées. Elles sont abordées, par exemple, dans le projet de vie, le projet de soins centrés sur le patient ou à l’occasion d’un processus en vue de demander une protection juridique. L’enjeu posé par les directives anticipées intéresse également les patient·e·s pour des raisons bien diverses que cet ouvrage se donne comme objectif d’explorer. Elles sont utilisées au regard de l’euthanasie d’une manière explicite certes, mais également pour « donner sens » à la fin de l’existence, c’est-à-dire dans un souci d’éviter tout excès de traitement, afin de ne pas souffrir ou de ne pas être un poids pour ses proches (et ainsi rester maître de sa vie, ...). Dès lors, comment comprendre l’usage des directives anticipées ? Quel mésusage est perceptible ? Comment les enjeux spirituels sont-ils abordés par les patient·e·s et le personnel soignant ? À travers des contributions philosophique, psychologique et clinique, les auteur·e·s mettent au jour le lien intime entre directives anticipées et dimension spirituelle."

If death is such a certainty, why do so many of us avoid talking about it? Articulating our wishes about the end of our lives is one way of ensuring that we take our leave of this world with hope in our hearts. This booklet encourages us to think and talk about our own inevitable death. Speaking openly about our end-of-life wishes can not only equip our loved ones to carry them out, it could be our last gift to those whom we love.

This book is the first to consider comprehensively and systematically the law and practice of advance directives across Asia. It will thus be important not only as a reference volume that documents how advance directives are regulated and used throughout Asia, but also as an exploration of the concept of the advance directive itself, in context. By examining how advance directives operate in Asian countries, we will also shed light on the principle of personal autonomy in this context, alongside other values and religious and socio-cultural factors that shape health and care decision-making. As such, this book will have broad appeal not only to Asian scholars, students, policymakers and practitioners in the fields of health law and ethics and end-of-life care more generally, but will also be of wider interest to an international academic audience in the fields of law, ethics and health and social care research. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
