What are some of the issues that older people need to deal with when it comes to contemplating the end of their lives? It may sound like a morbid topic, but preparedness is key for ensuring that medical and legal complications do not detract from living life to the end, with dignity. Raja Eileeen Soraya and Ramakrishna Tharini from the Medico-Legal Society of Malaysia join us to outline the basics of medical law and then drill down into the rights that the elderly have when it comes to making important decisions on their health and healthcare needs.
