DIRECTIVE TO PHYSICIAN
DIRECTIVE made this _____ day of ____________, 19___.
I, ___________________________, being of sound mind, willfully and
voluntarily make known my desire that my life shall not be
artificially prolonged under the circumstances set forth below, and do
hereby declare:
1. If at any time I should have an incurable injury, disease, or
illness certified to be a terminal condition by two (2) physicians,
and where the application of life-sustaining procedures would serve
only to artificially prolong the moment of my death and where my
physician determines that my death is imminent whether or not
life-sustaining procedures are utilized, I direct that such procedures
be withheld or withdrawn, and that I be permitted to die naturally.
2. In the absence of my ability to give directions regarding the use
of such life-sustaining procedures, it is my intention that this
Directive shall be honored by my family and physician(s) as the final
expression of my legal right to refuse medical or surgical treatment
and accept the consequences of such refusal.
3. If I have been diagnosed as pregnant and that diagnosis is known
to my physician, this Directive shall have no force or effect during
the course of my pregnancy.
4. I have been diagnosed and notified at least fourteen (14) days
ago as having a terminal condition by ________________, M.D., whose
address is __________________________________________________ and
whose telephone number is ______________.
I understand that if I have not filled in the physician's name and
address, it shall be presumed that I did not have a terminal condition
when I made this Directive;
5. This Directive shall have no force or effect five (5) years from
the date filled in above.
6. I understand the full import of this Directive and I am
emotionally and mentally competent to make this Directive.
