- DECLARATION
-
-
- On this _________________ day of ___________, I
- @001, being of sound mind, willfully and voluntarily direct that
- my dying shall not be artificially prolonged under the
- circumstances set forth in this declaration:
-
-
- If at any time I should have an incurable injury, disease,
- or illness certified to be a terminal condition by two (2)
- physicians who have personally examined me, one (1) of whom
- shall be my attending physician, and the physicians have
- determined that my death is imminent whether or not life-
- sustaining procedures are utilized and where the application of
- such procedures would serve only to artificially prolong the
- dying process, I direct that such procedures be withheld or
- withdrawn, and that I be permitted to die naturally with only
- the administration of medication, and the administration of
- food and water, and the performance of any medical procedure
- that is necessary to provide comfort care or to alleviate pain.
- In the absence of my ability to give directions regarding the
- use of such life-sustaining procedures, it is my intention that
- this declaration shall be honored by my family and physician(s)
- as the final expression of my legal right to control my medical
- care or treatment. I am legally competent to make this
- declaration, and I understand its full import.
