Declaration made this __________ day of _____________ 20________. I ___________ willfully and voluntarily make known my desire that my dying shall not be artificially prolonged under the circumstances set forth below, do hereby declare:
If at any time I should have a terminal condition, and if my attending physician has determined that there can be no recovery from such condition and my death is imminent, I direct that such procedures be withheld or withdrawn, and that I be permitted to die naturally with only the administration of medication or the performance of any medical procedure deemed necessary to provide me with comfort care or to alleviate pain.

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 understand the full import of this declaration and I am emotionally and mentally competent to make this declaration.
