DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE & HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE
Part III. Relationship between health care choices directive
and durable power of attorney for health care choices
As I have executed the health care choices directive and durable power of attorney for
health care choices, I trust and encourage my agent to:
First, follow my wishes as expressed in the directive or otherwise from knowledge about
me or having had discussions with me about making choices regarding life-prolonging
medical treatment.
is called substituted judgment and requires my agent imagining himself or herself in my
position. My agent should consider my values, religious beliefs, past choices and past
statements I have made. The aim is to choose as I probably would choose, even if it is not
what my agent would choose for himself or herself.
Third, if my agent has very little or no knowledge of what I would want, then my agent
and the doctors will have to make a decision based on what a reasonable person in the
same situation would decide. This is called making decisions in my best interest. I have
not have enough information to follow my preferences or use substituted judgment, and if
this is the case, I authorize my agent to make decisions that might even be contrary to my
directive in his or her best judgment.
Finally, if the durable power of attorney for health care choices is determined to be
ineffective, or if my agent is unable to serve, the health care choices directive is intended
prolonging procedures.
