No person who acts in good faith as a witness to a declaration under this subchapter may be held civilly or criminally liable for participating in the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining procedures or feeding tubes under this subchapter.2.

154.25  General provisions. (1) Suicide. Under this subchapter, the withholding or withdrawing of resuscitation from a patient wearing a valid do-not-resuscitate bracelet does not, for any purpose, constitute suicide. Requesting a do-not-resuscitate order under this subchapter does not, for any purpose, constitute attempted suicide. (2)  Life insurance. Requesting a do-not-resuscitate order under s. 154.19 may not be used to impair in any manner the procurement of any policy of life insurance, and may not be used to modify the terms of an existing policy of life insurance. No policy of life insurance may be impaired in any manner by the withholding or withdrawal of resuscitation from a qualified patient. (3)  Health insurance. No person may be required to request a do-not-resuscitate order as a condition prior to being admitted to a health care facility or being insured for, or receiving, health care services. (4)  Other rights. This subchapter does not impair or supersede any of the following:(a) A person's right to withhold or withdraw resuscitation.(b) The right of any person who does not have a do-not-resuscitate order in effect to receive resuscitation. (5)  Intent. Failure to request a do-not-resuscitate order creates no presumption that the person consents to the use or withholding of resuscitation in the event that the person suffers from a condition that renders the person a qualified patient. (6)  Valid do-not-resuscitate bracelet. A do-not-resuscitate bracelet that has not been removed, altered, or tampered with in any way shall be presumed valid, unless the patient, the patient's guardian, or the patient's health care agent expresses to the emergency medical services practitioner, emergency medical responder, or emergency health care facility personnel the patient's desire to be resuscitated. (6m)  Desire of the patient. The desire of a patient to be resuscitated supersedes the effect of that patient's do-not-resuscitate order at all times. (7)  Construction. Nothing in this subchapter condones, authorizes or permits any affirmative or deliberate act to end life other than to permit the natural process of dying.History:  1995 a. 200; 1997 a. 27; 2017 a. 12.

WI Stat § 155.05 (2021)
2021 Wisconsin Statutes & Annotations|Chapter 155 - Power of attorney for health care.|155.05 - Power of attorney for health care.

155.05  Power of attorney for health care. (1) An individual who is of sound mind and has attained age 18 may voluntarily execute a power of attorney for health care. An individual for whom an adjudication of incompetence and appointment of a guardian of the person is in effect in this state is presumed not to be of sound mind for purposes of this subsection executing a power of attorney for health care. (2) Unless otherwise specified in the power of attorney for health care instrument, an individual's power of attorney for health care takes effect upon a finding of incapacity by 2 physicians, as defined in s. 448.01 (5), or one physician and one licensed advanced practice clinician, who personally examine the principal and sign a statement specifying that the principal has incapacity. Mere old age, eccentricity or physical disability, either singly or together, are insufficient to make a finding of incapacity. Neither of the individuals who make a finding of incapacity may be a relative of the principal or have knowledge that he or she is entitled to or has a claim on any portion of the principal's estate. A copy of the statement, if made, shall be appended to the power of attorney for health care instrument. (3) No health care provider for an individual, employee of that health care provider or employee of a health care facility in which an individual is a patient or resides, or a spouse of any of those providers or employees, may be designated by the individual as a health care agent unless the health care provider, employee or spouse of the provider or employee is a relative of the individual. (4) The desires of a principal who does not have incapacity supersede the effect of his or her power of attorney for health care at all times. (5) A principal may designate an alternate individual to serve as his or her health care agent in the event that the health care agent first designated is unable or unwilling to do so.History:  1989 a. 200; 2005 a. 387; 2019 a. 90.Wisconsin's Power of Attorney for Health Care.

WI Stat § 155.10 (2021)
2021 Wisconsin Statutes & Annotations|Chapter 155 - Power of attorney for health care.|155.10 - Power of attorney for health care instrument; execution; witnesses.

155.10  Power of attorney for health care instrument; execution; witnesses. (1) A valid power of attorney for health care instrument shall be all of the following:(a) In writing.(b) Dated and signed by the principal or by an individual who has attained age 18, at the express direction and in the presence of the principal.(c) Signed in the presence of 2 witnesses who meet the requirements of sub. (2).(d) Voluntarily executed. (2) A witness to the execution of a valid power of attorney for health care instrument shall be an individual who has attained age 18. No witness to the execution of the power of attorney for health care instrument may, at the time of the execution, be any of the following:(a) Related to the principal by blood, marriage, or adoption, or the domestic partner under ch. 770 of the individual.(b) Have knowledge that he or she is entitled to or has a claim on any portion of the principal's estate.(c) Directly financially responsible for the principal's health care.(d) An individual who is a health care provider who is serving the principal at the time of execution, an employee, other than a chaplain or a social worker, of the health care provider or an employee, other than a chaplain or a social worker, of an inpatient health care facility in which the principal is a patient.(e) The principal's health care agent.History:  1989 a. 200; 1991 a. 281; 2009 a. 28.Wisconsin statutes provide three instruments through which an individual may state healthcare wishes in the event of incapacitation: a “declaration to physicians," a “do-not-resuscitate order," and a “health care power of attorney." These statutory instruments apply under specific circumstances, have their own signature requirements, and may be limited in the extent of authorization they afford. A form will trigger no statutory immunities for healthcare providers when it lacks the features of these statutory documents. A court might conclude, however, that such a form is relevant in discerning a person's intent. OAG 10-14
