Document Summary
In the case that i become unconscious and it is relatively certain that i will never regain consciousness, i choose not to prolong my life. I feel that if there no possibility i will regain consciousness that i have already suffered a psychological death and there is no point to keeping me alive. If i have a soul, i do not want it trapped in a body that has no chance of being able to live again. In all other cases where my conscious self is involved refer to the following; In terms of resuscitation: i do not want to be resuscitated if i am diagnosed with and incurable and irreversible condition. In any cases where there is not certainty of my impending death please resuscitate. If i do not begin breathing or my heart does not start beating on its own within five to seven minutes of the resuscitation you may stop resuscitation and let me die.
