/*Para. 5880 - Uniform Living Will*/
UNIFORM LIVING WILL
OF @001
To my family, my physician, my lawyer, my clergyman.
To any medical facility in whose care I happen to be. To any
individual who may become responsible for my health, welfare
or affairs.
Death is as much a reality as birth, growth, maturity and old
age -- it is the one certainty of life. If the time comes when
I, @001, can no longer take part in decisions of my own future,
let this statement stand as an expression of my wishes while I am
still of sound mind.
If the situation should arise in which I am in terminal state
and there is no reasonable expectation of my recovery, I direct
that I be allowed to die a natural death and that my life not be
prolonged by extraordinary measures. I do, however, ask that
medication be mercifully administered to me to alleviate
suffering even though this may shorten my remaining life.
This statement is made after careful consideration and is in
accordance with my strong convictions and beliefs. I want the
wishes and directions here expressed carried out to the extent
permitted by law. Insofar as they are not legally enforceable, I
hope that those to whom this will is addressed will regard
themselves as morally bound by these provisions.
#5881
/* Para. 4481: Hydration */
If it is permissible under the laws of the jurisdiction in which
I may be hospitalized I direct that the physicians supervising
my care upon a terminal diagnosis to discontinue hydration
(water) should the continuation of hydration be judged to result
in unduly prolonging a natural death.
#5882
/* Para. 4482: Food */
If it is permissible under the laws of the jurisdiction in which
I may be hospitalized I direct that the physicians supervising
my care upon a terminal diagnosis to discontinue feeding should
the continuation of hydration be judged to result in unduly
prolonging a natural death.
#5883
/* Para. 4483: Release */
I herewith release any and all hospitals, physicians, and
others both for myself and for my estate from any and all
liability for complying with this declaration, to the fullest
extent provided by law.
#5884
/* Para. 4484: Transfer */
I herewith authorize my spouse, if any, or any relative who is
related to me within the third degree to effectuate my transfer
from any hospital or other health care facility in which I may
be receiving care should that facility decline or refuse to
effectuate the instructions given herein.
