6. What is her problem? Doesn't she know what a living will, durable power of attorney, healthcare

proxy, or orders of sustaining care are? Wow, let's not decide anything about our health while we're still capable of making our own decisions. I think it's funny that on page 425 (beginning of Section 1233) they're simply modifying the Social security act and that the orders of sustaining care can only apply to states that have removed all legal barriers to recognizing them.

I see where Alaska passed a bill that allows for such things in August 2004. Guess there's no reason Sarah should be aware of it.
