Legal Briefings on Clinical Ethics - NEW

I am continuing my series of "Legal Briefings" on topics in clinical ethics for the JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ETHICS.  These are 15-20-page systematic summaries of legislative, regulatory, judicial, and other legal developments concerning the selected issue.  I have completed the following eight briefings.  

I am now finishing up a briefing on "Patients without Proxies: Decision Making for the Unbefriended."  If you have a policy, a bill, or any other material relevant to this topic, I would love to get a copy.  This topic is under-explored in the literature, and I really want this to be as absolutely comprehensive as possible.
