Testamento Activo/Vital

My comment:

Living will. Un Testamento Activo es un documento legal que indica si el internado paciente prefiere recibir el tratamiento médico para sostener su vida bajo ciertas circunstancias. Aunque un Testamento Activo no es un documento legalmente obligatorio, muchas veces se acepta como una declaración precisa de los deseos del internado paciente.
Expresion de instrucciones, Voluntades anticipadas
