Korean elderly eager to sign no-life-support pledge

Elderly eager to sign no-life-support pledge - INSIDE JoongAng Daily: A seminar on a patient’s right to refuse life support in hospitals was held in Seoul last month, and after a JoongAng Ilbo report the following day, more than a hundred people, mostly elderly, called the host of the seminar saying they wanted a “living will.” The Bioethics Policy Research Center said it has received about 40 calls a day asking for information on what it calls a no-life-support “pledge” since the article was published.
