My wife and I have power of attorney over each others last wishes and medical decisions should they be needed. We have had in depth communication with each other and our forms are on file with our doctor and with the hospital. We both have DNR for end of life, and for mental acuity. Neither one of us want to be a vegetable, nor go thru heroic means to stay alive in body but have no quality of life.
