A health care power of attorney allows you to designate someone to consent to the withdrawal of life-sustaining procedures on your behalf.

A Living Will is ever more important in this day of advanced medical technology. The Living Will states that if your life is being sustained solely by artificial means, it is your desire that these means may be terminated where there is very little chance of recovery. You must make this decision while you are still competent.
