Answer to Question 1

End-of-life issues are issues pertaining to management of the final phase of life, after-death disposition of the body and memorial services, and distribution of assets. Carl may want to consider what types of medical treatment he may not want, whether he wants to be buried or cremated, and who will receive his belongings. A final scenario is a way for people to make their choices known about how they do and do not want to lives to end. Carl will need to document his wishes, desires, and choices in writing and make sure they go to the appropriate people. For his belongings, Carl can create a will. If he has specific desires about how his body is handled post-death, Carl can write out that he wants to be cremated and have his ashes sprinkled over the Pacific Ocean from a boat where all of his close friends and relatives have gathered.
