A community of surviving families, lawyers and doctors has been pushing for years to create a path for the end of life that gives as much thought to dying as society does to life s beginning. That s the kind of revolution we need in the long run, said Dr. Joanne Lynn, director of the Washington Home Center for Palliative Care Studies. Some patients liken it to planning the wedding.
