To: My GMU HAP 750 Health Law Students
Here is the assignment for June 30, 2011 that includes, this time, a more than the one page or more usual weekly submission and reading materials. Please study the linked materials referenced on each of the web pages cited below, in addition to the weekly text assignment, and prepare a preliminary version of an advance health care directive for yourself. It is not expected that you will sign the document for this assignment. Instead, the purpose of preparing the document is to be able to provide a copy to me and to discuss your analysis of the document during our next class.
