What is the most important thing that I can do to avoid ethical problems for myself or my loved ones?
A. Communicate. The most important thing that every one of us can do in advance of a difficult moral problem, is to communicate to our loved ones about our values so there will be little doubt about what we value in life. A wonderful tool for this type of discussion is an Advance Directive. Every competent adult in our society would benefit by completing an advance directive.
