The public need to understand when there is no advance directive, and you are unconscious, it becomes implied consent. Regarding the J.W. Healthcare Power of Attorney, I wrote a letter to Watchtower outlining the good points and bad points. The 'C" part on that document basically lets the patient say, "I am not going to make a decision right now about..." Very dangerous. I agree with Liz. It is very frustrating!
