AIRD BERLIS LLP: WEBINAR ON MEDICAL CONSENT.

CONCEPT OF "LIVING WILL"  APPLIES TO USA NOT ONTARIO.

TWO POWERS OF ATTORNEY NEEDED FOR EACH LEGAL JURISDICTION; ONTARIO AND FOR EXAMPLE  FLORIDA, FOR  PERSONAL CARE AND ANOTHER FOR PROPERTY.

DECISION MAKER SHOULD BE LOCAL AND AGREES TO ACT ACCORDING TO WISHES OF OUTCOME OF TREATMENT. USING PHRASES; NO TUBES OR HEROIC MEASURES USELESS. ALTERNATE SHOULD BE STATED. IF NO POWER OF ATTORNEY DECISION LEFT TO FAMILY HIERARCHY AND NOT TO A "FRIEND".

AS FOR EUTHANASIA, REQUEST CANNOT BE MADE IN ADVANCE. ONLY SHORTLY BEFORE DECISION TO DIE.
