Informed, decision making away from the pulse of the emotion is essential here. High quality physicians with the time and space to guide a family are immensely impactful but sadly both the time and space are becoming increasingly limited. Having a trusted advocate by your side who is not as connected is becoming a significant trend.

Hence the need for everyone to have advanced health directives.

Advanced health directives are great. Sadly most of the time they're placed in a box somewhere and it's not the first thing you think of when something critical is happening.
