No. A power-of-attorney gives the attorney-in-fact control over principal's assets and not his body.

The two documents or appointments cover different powers: a Power of Attorney gives an agent the power to make financial decisions for a principle, and a Health Care Proxy allows an agent to make medical decisions.
