Nobody wants to die alone at an old age in intensive care. While we are healthy and totally aware, we can decide on our own in which way we want to be treated at the end of our lives. We must avoid the creation of false hopes which lead to “futile life support”, which result in unnecessary expenses for doctors and hospitals, in many cases causing pain and suffering without providing a basic quality of life. If we take the right decisions today, we can die with dignity in the future. We all will die someday. Many expect this moment to be kind of romantic, that we will close our eyes and not wake up again. Nevertheless, according to recent statistics, 80% of the population will suffer from a terminal illness. It could be a heart disease, illness of lungs, kidneys or the feared cancer.
