Living Will
Declaration of your wishes regarding life-sustaining medical treatment in the event of a terminal condition or permanent unconsciousness.
Instructions
State your wishes clearly: whether you want or do not want life-sustaining treatment including mechanical ventilation, CPR, artificial nutrition and hydration, and dialysis. Specify the conditions under which these preferences apply (terminal illness, permanent unconsciousness, irreversible condition). Sign with two witnesses and notarize if your state requires. Review and update periodically, especially after major health events.
