A new survey has found that 1/3 of married people would pick someone other than their spouse to make medical decisions if they were unconscious or too sick to decide for themselves.

I would think that my spouse might be too close to the situation to make a rational decision in case of an emergency (heaven forbid).
I *need* to draft a medical power of attorney appointing my sister and husband as joint attorneys in fact so that neither can act without consent of the other.

I would pick my spouse. Where was the survey, the lobby of a divorce court?

My spouse absolutely. He's my best friend and I wouldn't trust another person with those decisions but him.

My mother---she decided to bring me in this world, surely she could decide to take me out. That, plus she's been in the medical field for thirty years, and would have a clear understanding of my treatment measures and prognosis.

I'd pick my spouse first, then my son.
