At this time I, ____________________________________ am of sound mind and capable of making these decisions. I have carefully considered the ramifications if I refuse certain medical treatment should I become seriously incapacitated. It is my wish to die with dignity without the use of extraordinary measures. If, in the opinions of two or more doctors, I am terminally ill and there is no immediate hope of recovery, I expect that no artificial means be used to keep me alive, such as antibiotics, resuscitation, tube feeding, hydration or other life-support systems.

I expect to receive basic palliative care, however, and I request that drugs be used to keep me pain-free even if my life is further shortened.

I have the following wishes regarding autopsy:
