[WSBAPT] Clients want to name children in Health Care Directive

[LISA ATKINSON]

Colleagues,

First time issue for me.  Clients, non-native English
 speakers, want to put their children's names into a Health Care 
Directive to require physicians to consult with and get approval from 
the children before honoring the terms of the HCD.  I have tried to 
explain, in many different ways, why this is not appropriate, but I 
can't find any legal citation to support my explanation.

Anyone 
have suggestions?  I tried to suggest that under their Health Care POA, 
their children have a say in treatment/etc, but that the HCD is to be 
their choice.

Please let me know if you have suggestions.

Thanks,

Lisa
