But aren't there legitimate concerns about what safeguards are in place to prevent abuse? I know it sounds terrible but God knows there are terrible people out there who would take advantage of their elderly family members who aren't lucid?

Every law, rule, mandate or suggestion has a slippery slope on some front and there are almost always unintended consequences. IMO you set up a system that favors the "rights" of the many over the few which can be done but it never prevents 100% the nefarious intent of family when in conjunction with a naive or corrupt doctor.
