A Living Will addresses only whether or not you would like to have artificial life support used when your body would not be able to sustain itself without it in the long term; whereas, a Durable Power of Attorney for Heath Care gives another person the power to make medical decisions that affect your life in the event that you are unable to make decisions about your own medical care.
