    Connecticut Form on Withdrawal of Life Support Systems

    DOCUMENT CONCERNING WITHHOLDING OR WITHDRAWAL OF LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS

    If the time comes when I am incapacitated to the point when I can no longer actively take part in decisions for my own life, and am unable to direct my physician as to my own medical care, I wish this statement to stand as a testament of my wishes.

    I, _______________________ (Name), request that, if my condition is deemed terminal or if it is determined that I will be permanently unconscious, I be allowed to die and not be kept alive through life support systems. By terminal condition, I mean that I have an incurable or irreversible medical condition which, without the administration of life support systems, will, in the opinion of my attending physician, result in death within a relatively short time. By permanently unconscious I mean that I am in a permanent coma or persistent vegetative state which is an irreversible condition in which I am at no time aware of myself or the environment and show no behavioral response to the environment. The life support systems which I do not want include, but are not limited to:

    ______ Artificial respiration

    ______ Cardiopulmonary resuscitation

    ______ Artificial means of providing nutrition and hydration

    (Cross out and initial life support systems you want administered)

    I do not intend any direct taking of my life, but only that my dying not be unreasonably prolonged.

    Other specific requests:

    This request is made, after careful reflection, while I am of sound mind.
