A multi-generational household is a household that includes at least three adult generations. This is becoming more common as the number has increased within prospective racial and minority groups.

    I definitely believe that advance directives are important and some of these reasons I already mentioned before as ‘pros’ regarding the advance directive I had reviewed. They are important for numerous reasons, but I think that the most important one is protection of human rights.

Lastly, I believe advance directives are very important because they provide a sense of moral guidance when considering the actions to
