Since the law of 22nd April 2005, any patient at the end of their life can draw up advance health care directives indicating their wishes with regard to the care and treatments they would like or not like to receive if they are no longer able to communicate. Valid for three years and included in the patient's records, the doctor must consult them but is not obliged to follow them.
