What are the legal issues in nutrition?

Answer 1

If you are referring to nutrition in the context of a power of attorney for health care decisions or a living will, this refers to the desires of the executor of the document to be given nutrition directly or not if that person is in a persistent vegetative state. The attorney in fact acts to ensure the person's wishes are followed by medical personnel. In some States, such desires must be proven by clear and convincing evidence, which is practically proven by content in a written document.
