Course Description

Many people have an advance directive, but fewer understand how end-of-life decisions are carried out in medical settings. This course examines end-of-life planning in New Hampshire, including the role of advance directives and the importance of medical orders such as Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) and Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) forms. Participants will learn about current end-of-life options available in New Hampshire, including voluntarily stopping eating and drinking (VSED) and stopping medical treatment. We will also cover Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD), a legal option available to roughly one third of Americans, but not yet in NH. We will discuss what MAiD is, what it is not, where things stand in NH, and how individuals are working to bring this option to NH. Emphasis is placed on practical understanding, communication and planning for real-world decisions.
