Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper discussing New York's
provision for ensuring that medically incompetent individuals' wishes are followed in issues
of health care when they are unable to communicate those wishes themselves. The law
was enacted in 1991, in direct response to the US Supreme Court's ruling on the Nancy
Cruzan case, that of a Missouri woman whose parents petitioned local courts to direct
health care professionals to withhold artificial nutrition and hydration measures. The
health care proxy allows individuals to assign decision-making responsibilities to an agent,
who cannot be sued for decisions made in good faith. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
