     145C.02 Health care directive. 


    A principal with the capacity to do so may execute a health 
 care directive.  A health care directive may include one or more 
 health care instructions to direct health care providers, others 
 assisting with health care, family members, and a health care 
 agent.  A health care directive may include a health care power 
 of attorney to appoint a health care agent to make health care 
 decisions for the principal when the principal, in the judgment 
 of the principal's attending physician, lacks decision-making 
 capacity, unless otherwise specified in the health care 
 directive.
