3. I cherish my life, so long as my quality of life is acceptable. I want only those medical treatments that are likely to besuccessful in preserving what I consider a good quality of life. This means that if my quality of life is likely to be poor, Iwould rather live a shorter period of time than undergo medical treatments that prolong my life.

For me, an unacceptably poor quality of life means:

• I had severe pain most of the time that could not be relieved by medications• I had discomfort most of the time, such as nausea, diarrhea, or shortness of breath• I had to live permanently in a nursing home• I were so debilitated that my care caused a severe burden for my family• I were so debilitated that the cost of my care caused a severe financial burden on my family• I could no longer make my own decisions• I could not think clearly and was confused most of the time• I could not communicate in a way that could be understood by others• I could not have meaningful relationships with family or friends

- Being kept alive long enough for my family to see me before I die, even if I am unconscious.- Being alert, even if it means I might be in pain.

Life would be worth living, but just barely:- If I had severe pain most of the time- If I had discomfort most of the time, such as nausea, diarrhea, or shortness of breath- If I had to live permanently in a nursing home- If I were so debilitated that my care caused a severe burden for my family- If I were so debilitated that the cost of my care caused a severe financial burden on my family

Life would not be worth living:- If I could no longer make my own decisions- If I could not think clearly and was confused most of the time- If I could not communicate in a way that could be understood by others- If I could not have meaningful relationships with family or friends


- Avoiding pain and suffering, even if it means I might not live as long.- Being at home when I die.


I would like my family to gather at my deathbead so that we may exchange our spiritual farewells.

If I have severe pain, I would want to receive enough medication to relieve my pain only if it wouldnot leave me disoriented or confused most of the time.

Not applicable.

If I am unable to speak for myself and the judgments of my spokesperson conflict with theinstructions expressed in my advance directive, I would want my spokesperson's judgments tooverride my written instructions.

I consider myself to have a direct lineage with the Gods of Knowledge and of War, and wish to beregarded and treated accordingly.

I have no preferences about how my body is disposed of.

I would want to donate any organs or tissues except:eyes

I would want an autopsy if there are questions or concerns about the cause of my death.

I would be willing to donate my body for the following purposes:Research

If I am unable to make my own medical decisions, I would want to participate in clinical researchthat might benefit others or society in general, even if it was unlikely to benefit me personally.
