| | Living Will |
 | | Your Living Will generally becomes operative when it is given to your physician and you are incapable of making health care decisions for yourself. | | | Your physicians or health care providers are directed by the Living Will to follow your instructions. | | | A health care agent is like a power of attorney but with respect to your health care issues. |

| | A Living Will gives you a voice in decisions about your medical care when you are unconscious or too ill to communicate. | | | As long as you are able to express your own decisions, your Living Will will not be used and you can accept or refuse any medical treatment. | | | The first section is the Health Care Surrogate section which allows you to designate one or more persons, such as a family member or close friend, to make health care decisions for you if you lose the ability to decide for yourself. |

| | The Living Will |
| | For this reason, physicians and hospitals are very reluctant to withhold these therapies unless the withholding is clearly based on an informed choice made by the patient when he or she had the capacity to decide. | | | This is the basis for most treatment decisions, and involves the individual attitudes each patient will bring to the decision. | | | The longer a patient is unconscious, the less likely it is that full capacity will be regained. |

| | though a living will does not deprive you of pain medication, some pain medication, such as morphine, can actually hasten death if you are in a weakened condition. | | | However, if you have provided your physician or health care provider with your living will you must notify them immediately so that your revocation may be entered in your medical records. | | | The purpose of this requirement is to afford you the opportunity to seek a compliant physician. |

| | You may wish to consider which burdens of treatment you would be willing to accept in an effort to achieve a particular outcome. | | | The term does not include the administration of pain management medication, the performance of a medical procedure necessary to provide comfort care, or any other medical care provided to alleviate a patient's pain. | | | This is a very personal decision that you may wish to discuss with your physician, family, or other important persons in your life. |

| | Your Living Will |
| | Your agent will be able to accept, or refuse medical treatment, have access to your medical records, and make decisions about donating your organs, authorizing an autopsy, and disposing of your body should you die. | | | The Advance Health Care Directive allows you to do more than the traditional living will, which only states your desire not to receive life-sustaining treatment if you are terminally ill or permanently unconscious. | | | Physicians and other health care professionals will look to your agent for decisions rather than your next of kin or any other person. |

| | This will help focus your thoughts on what decisions you need to make now so that your choices will be followed when the need arises. | | | After you have prepared your advance directive, consider registering it with the U.S. Living Will Registry so that your choices will be available to health care providers and your family wherever and whenever needed. | | | These problems point to the need for a central storage place, where health care providers can get quick and easy access to these documents, while maintaining privacy and confidentiality. |

| | There was a man who still had no reasonable expectation of recovery, which is the language of the Living Will. | | | There are in inherent amibiguities in any attempt to produce a general definition of terminal illness; these ambiguities enable right-to-die advocates to manipulate such a general definition in order to obtain de facto legal protection for...euthanasia. | | | Euthanasia is just plain murder which lies like right to die, death with dignity, passive euthanasia, natural death, prolonging the dying process, letting nature take its course, futile treatment, DNR, artificial nutrition and hydration, the gift of life, brain death etc., must not be allowed to obscure. |

| | Living will - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | During the weeks leading up to Easter of 2005, the case of Terri Schiavo generated much interest in living wills. | | | As the name suggests, the term "will to live", as opposed to the other terms, tends to emphasize the wish to live as long as possible rather than refusing treatment in the case of serious conditions. | | | A living will, also called will to live, advance health directive, or advance health care directive, is a specific type of power of attorney or health care proxy or advance directive. |

| | Unless a person has an advance directive, many health care providers and institutions will make critical decisions for him/her or a court may appoint a guardian who is unfamiliar with the person's values and wishes. | | | Unlike most Living Wills, the Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care does not require that the signer have a terminal condition. | | | It is a signed, witnessed (or notarized) document called a "declaration" or "directive." Most declarations instruct an attending physician to withhold or withdraw medical interventions from its signer if he/she is in a terminal condition and is unable to make decisions about medical treatment. |
