LIVING WILL DECLARATION
RELATIVE TO THE USE OF LIFE-SUSTAINING
PROCEDURES

     If I should have an incurable or irreversible condition that will result either in death within a relatively short period of time or a state of permanent unconsciousness from which, to a reasonable degree of certainty, there can be no recovery, it is my desire that my life not be prolonged by administration of life-sustaining procedures. If I am unable to participate in my health care decisions, I direct my attending physician to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining procedures that merely prolong the dying process and are not necessary to my comfort or freedom from pain.
