-
-
- DECLARATION made on ___________ by ______________
-
-
-
-
- I, ____________, being of sound mind, declare that if at any
-
- time I should suffer a terminal physical condition which causes
-
- me severe distress or unconsciousness, and my physician, with the
-
- concurrence of two (2) other physicians, believes that there is
-
- no expectation of my regaining consciousness or a state of health
-
- that is meaningful to me and but for the use of life-sustaining
-
- mechanisms my death would be imminent, I desire that the mechan-
-
- isms be withdrawn so that I may die naturally. However, if I have
-
- been diagnosed as pregnant and that diagnosis is known to my
-
- physician, this declaration shall have no force or effect during
-
- the course of my pregnancy. I further declare that this declar-
-
- ation shall be honored by my family and my physician as the final
-
- expression of my desires concerning the manner in which I die.
