Parents lost legal standing when she married. Obviously, otherwise they would be the guardians.
Is it possible, when drawing up a living will, to state that you want person X to make the decisions for you?

I believe that is what's known as a "healthcare surrogate", but I may be wrong...

Is it possible, when drawing up a living will, to state that you want person X to make the decisions for you?Absolutely! I could have simply designated someone to make the decision. I chose to make the decision myself that no heroic measures be taken, and designated my wife, and alternately my children to see that my decision was carried out.
Of course, this was probably a poor decision, since it has been pointed out that my logic is flawed, and I am generally cold, vicious and inhumane.
