LIVING WILL AS PROVIDED BY TENNESSEE CODE 32-11-105
LIVING WILL OF _____________________
I, ____________, willfully and voluntarily make known my desires
that my dying shall not be artificially prolonged under the
circumstances set forth below, and do hereby declare:
If at any time I should have a terminal condition and
my attending physician has determined that there can be no
recovery from such condition and my death is imminent, and where
the application of life-prolonging procedures would serve only
to artificially prolong the dying process, I direct that such
procedures be withheld or withdrawn, and that I be permitted to
die naturally with only the administration of medications or the
performance of any medical procedure deemed necessary to
provide me with comfort care or to alleviate pain.
In the absence of my ability to give directions
regarding the use of such life-sustaining procedures, it is
my intention that this declaration shall be honored by my
family and physicians as the final expression of my legal right
to refuse medical or surgical treatment and accept the
consequences from such refusal.
I understand the full import of this declaration and
I am emotionally and mentally competent to make this
declaration. In acknowledgement whereof, I do hereinafter
affix my signature on this the ___________ day of ______________
19___________.
