    A living will is a signed statement from you, making it known that you do not want any life-prolonging treatment. (A living will is not the same as a DNR.) ... One witness is needed for a Living Will and two witnesses are needed for a Health Care POA. Neighbors, friends, and family are acceptable witnesses, but should not be the person you are appointing as your Health Care POA or your physician. (Kewanee Star Courier, IL)
