A medical proxy is a legal document, where you appoint someone to take responsibility of your medical decisions, in case you are no longer able to.

As the medical proxy, you're taking on a very serious responsibility- you are now the go-to person for all medical decisions for the person you are proxy-ing for. This may extend to making quality of life decisions, allowing heroic measures, allowing or removing the individual from life support.
