[quote=Anonymous]It's not just about getting old or having a terminal illness. When my husband and I did our wills we did healthcare POAs with stipulations as to interventions--basically it has to do with when medical care is futile (I should reread mine sometime though!). It was also specific about different interventions. People get in car accidents, pulled out of lakes and oceans, sometimes have unforeseen complications from common illnesses (I always think of Jim Henson, the muppets guy, he's hanging out at home with a nasty case of strep and then suddenly he's very sick and goes to the ER and then he's dead). On the one hand you have the Terry Schiavos of the world, on the other hand they continue to learn unexpected things about the nature of consciousness. [/quote]
