concerned with what is legal, not ethical

, (short essay) Discuss 1 key difference b/n a living will and a durable
power of attorney for health care. ch12 Correct Answer--living will:
only applies when an incapacitated patient is diagnosed to be terminally
ill (usually 6 or less months to live) or is permanently unconscious w/ no
hope for neurological recovery (living will--treatments to give, withhold,
or withdraw)
-durable power of attorney: appoints a person w/ knowledge of the
patient's values, beliefs, and personal history so that that surrogate
decision maker can make a substituted judgment for the patient

him/herself if thy were able to decide)

fundamental task of a person is of doing the right thing; guide action w/
a set of moral principles; what is fundamental are actions and their moral
properties
3)consequentialist theories: (judgement of consequences are most basic)
3 main goals (specify and defend something that is good in themselves,

intrinsically good things, defend some practical policy for cases where
