      abstract = {This volume gives an overview on the currently debated  ethical issues regarding advance directives from an  international perspective. It focuses on a wider  understanding of the known and widely accepted concept of  patient self-determination for future situations. Although  advance directives have been widely discussed since the  1980s, the ethical bases of advance directives still remain  a matter of heated debates. The book aims to contribute to  these controversial debates by integrating fundamental  ethical issues on advance directives with practical matters  of their implementation. Cultural, national and  professional differences in how advance directives are  understood by health care professions and by patients, as  well as in laws and regulations, are pinpointed.},
