How Hospices / Palliative / End-of-Life Care could be different



Advanced healthcare directives could determine how people want to die in hospice (sedation, vsed, drugs, etc.)

Advanced healthcare directives could encompass mentally and physically incapacitated (vegetative / minimally conscious / severe brain injury / Alzheimer's / dementia) states

U.S. hospice care could not have fraud / mismanagement / abuse

People could have additional time with deceased loved ones in hospitals / hospices

Patients who are dying could choose whether or not they want CPR

Private equity could make veterinarian care, healthcare, assisted living, nursing homes, autism care, mobile homes, hospices, petrol stations, dentists, etc. more expensive / decrease quality

No one could die alone

A death doula could help with the dying process

Memorials/funerals could be held before death

HIV/AIDs patients could have hospices

Prisons could have hospices with prisoners as caregivers

Prison, inner city, nursing home, and hospital residents could have access to nature

The Zen Hospice Project could be a model for end-of-life care

Assisted suicide / euthanasia could be legal
