m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




ey are incompetent to decide for themselves. However, in case of emergencysituation
m m m m m m m m m m m m




s, healthcare providers should not wait for a court order. In case healthcareproviders

m m m m m m m m m m m m m




cedure to save the client's life. In such circumstances the law accepts that the client
