Only 10% of us have an enduring power of attorney, which shows there is a lot to be done. If it is legal by 2035, I would like to give a living care directive to my medical and legal team, which would mean that I do not have to take antibiotics to combat a chest infection when I am 85 years old and feel that I am no good to anyone and am a burden to myself and my family. In such circumstances, I want to be able to go.
