STATUTORY DECLARATION IN CONFORMANCE WITH VIRGINIA
NATURAL DEATH ACT VA. CODE SECTION 54-325.8:4
DECLARATION OF __________________________
Declaration made this __________ day of ________________
19________. I ______________, being of sound mind, willfully and
voluntarily make known my desires that my dying shall not be
artificially prolonged under the circumstances set forth below,
do 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 will is imminent,
where the application of life-sustaining 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such procedures be withheld or withdrawn, and that I be permitted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 medication 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 physician 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.
Signed:
