Advance directives have an important place in medical practice. They promote planning for patients' medical care in unforeseen circumstances like unconsciousness from stroke or accident, when thinking and reasoning are impaired such as during a critical illness, and for patients facing death from conditions like terminal cancer or Alzheimer's Disease.
