Our Advance Medical Directive also serves as a durable Power of Attorney, permitting someone close to us to speak in our behalf if we cannot. This is only as related to medical procedures which we will have previously discussed with this person and which they have agreed to honor.Thanks Abdijah!To the one who asked this question, the answer in short is, Yes. We do believe in Advanced Directive. :)This is to show not only to the people, but most of all, to Jehovah how serious and careful we are in carrying out this very sensitive issue.
