Preparing for the end-of-life: public attitudes towards advance directives and assisted suicide in Switzerland
The study reveals an association between completing AD and supporting attitudes toward AS among older adults in Switzerland, highlighting how the desire to control end-of-life experiences can drive interest in both procedures. Future developments in end-of-life care planning should consider incorporating discussions and documentation of AD and AS together.
