Advance Medical Directives
Advance Medical Directives (AMD) (often know as Living Wills)
are a badly underused and most important facility, as most people concentrate on the least important aspect of them. They can accomplish two things:
 | Putting someone you appoint in charge of your medical decision making if you are unconscious or otherwise rendered incapable. Without the appointment of a Medical Proxy, no one has any rights - not your husband, wife, partner or children. They may be consulted, but their opinions have no real weight. The British Medical Association has made it a disciplinary offence to disregard a properly appointed Medical Proxy. So everyone over 18 should appoint one, and single people and unmarried couples should consider doing so vital. |
| Making your views on treatments known in advance - some people have very strong views, others do not, and the Advance Medical Directive / Living Will can be tailored to give Medical Proxies wide latitude or none. |
