My health care agent may present a copy of this advance directive for
health care in lieu of the original and the copy will have the same meaning
and effect as the original.
I understand that under Georgia law:
My health care agent may refuse to act as my health care agent;
•
A court can take away the powers of my health care agent if it finds
•
that my health care agent is not acting properly; and
My health care agent does not have the power to make health care
•
decisions for me regarding psychosurgery, sterilization, or treatment or
involuntary hospitalization for mental or emotional illness, mental
retardation, or addictive disease.
(4) GUIDANCE FOR HEALTH CARE AGENT
When making health care decisions for me, my health care agent should
think about what action would be consistent with past conversations we
have had, my treatment preferences as expressed in PART TWO (if I have
filled out PART TWO), my religious and other beliefs and values, and how I
have handled medical and other important issues in the past. If what I
would decide is still unclear, then my health care agent should make
decisions for me that my health care agent believes are in my best interest,
considering the benefits, burdens, and risks of my current circumstances
and treatment options.
