Introduced
by
To authorize living wills in Michigan. Under current Michigan law, an individual may instead appoint a legal patient advocate to make his or her end of life decision known to doctors, should he or she be unable to communicate. The bill retains this provision, but also allows a person to have a written or oral advanced directive (i.e. living will) if he or she is 18 years of age or older and is of sound mind and judgment.
Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
