DECLARATION AS PROVIDED BY MARYLAND HEALTH-GENERAL
CODE SECTION 5-602
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withdrawn, and that I be permitted to die naturally with only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.
Signed _________________________________________________________
