Natural Death Acts

Obstructive
500
This is a sound clinical decision when reached in discussion with the patient (if competent), the family and the care team after identifying when active treatment will improve quality of life and prolong life, and when active treatment is futile without the likelihood of improving the condition and merely prolonging the dying process.
Withholding or withdrawal of treatment
