Religious Restrictions

What if you create an advance directive specifying your end-of-life wishes, only to have a health care institution or provider refuse to honor it? Unfortunately, more and more often, the religious and ethical beliefs of certain health care providers are limiting the public’s desired end-of-life care. In some states, these refusals are even protected by law. But you are not without rights. Arming yourself with information will help ensure that you get the end-of-life care you want.
