Abstract: Many patients have definite opinions about end-of-life care. Researchers in Ontario interviewed 48 dialysis patients, 40 HIV-infected people and 38 people in a long-term care facility. Most of the patients wanted to receive adequate treatment for pain and other symptoms. They did not want to prolong the dying process and wanted to have some control over their situation. They did not want to be a burden on their families but at the same time wanted to strengthen their relationships with loved ones.
