In any case where you are unable to make your own healthcare decisions, determine who may speak on your behalf.

The agent you name in your living will has the authority to:

1.Approve or deny any care or treatment that may harm your physical or mental health.
2.Select or dismiss health-care providers and organizations.
3.Approve or reject tests, surgeries, and medications that are part of your treatment.
4.Decide if you can receive medical care, such as artificial nutrition, or whether you should be taken off life support.
5.Decide whether you want to donate your organs or have an autopsy.
