Don't Use the "Form!"

Did you know that you can provide for your religious and philosophical preferences in your medical directives?  Yes, you can!  In your Medical Power of Attorney and your Directive to Physicians, you can provide detailed instructions regarding how medical care and end of life decisions should be carried out by your agents and your physicians.  This may be important for those practicing religions that do not allow for certain treatments, or that require end of life care.  Don’t use the “form” – make sure your documents meet your specific needs.
