Do you know what an Advanced Medical Directive is? An Advance Medical Directive allows you to state what you want for your own medical care if you are unable to make decisions for yourself. You can direct that a specific procedure or treatment be provided, such as artificially administered hydration (fluids) or nutrition (feeding); direct that a specific procedure or treatment be withheld; or appoint a person to act as your agent in making health care decisions for you, if it is determined that you are unable to make health care decisions for yourself. This includes the decision to make anatomical gifts of a specific part or parts of your body via organ and tissue donation, or of all of your body.
