"Living Wills" won't necessarily control medical decisions in cases like Schiavo's.

I heard from a medical social worker who made it clear "Living Wills" won't necessarily control medical decisions in cases like Schiavo's. He suggested the far superior instrument is a Durable Power of Attorney for Medical Care, which not only indicates your wishes about live-support contingencies, but gives the person of your choice real control over medical decisions.

I guess I need to look into these. I do know that "Living Wills" can be overridden.
