LIVING WILL


       Directive made this 1st day of March, 1995.

            TO MY FAMILY, MY PHYSICIAN, MY CLERGYMAN, MY LAWYER:

            I, John Smith, being of sound mind, willfully and 
       voluntarily make known my desire that my life shall not 
       be artificially prolonged pursuant to the following:

            If the time comes when I can no longer take part in 
       decisions for my own future, this statement and 
       declaration shall stand as the expression of my wishes.  
       I recognize that death is as much a reality as birth, 
       growth, maturity, and old age - it is but a phase in the 
       cycle of life and is the only certainty.  I do not fear 
       death as much as I fear the indignity of deterioration, 
       dependence, and hopeless pain.  If there is no reasonable 
       expectation of my recovery from physical or mental 
       disability, I wish to be allowed to die and not be kept 
       alive by artificial means or heroic measures, but wish 
       only that drugs be mercifully administered to me for 
       terminal suffering, even if they hasten the moment of my 
       death.

            I recognize that my wishes place a heavy burden of 
       responsibility upon you, and I therefore make the 
       following declaration with the intention of sharing this 
       responsibility and the decision with you and of 
       mitigating any feelings of guilt that you may have:


       DECLARATION

            If at any time I should have an incurable injury, 
       disease, or illness certified to be a terminal condition 
       by two physicians, and where the application of 
       life-sustaining procedures would serve only to 
       artificially prolong the moment of my death and where any 
       physician determines that my death is imminent whether or 
       not life-sustaining procedures are utilized, I direct 
       that such procedures be withheld or withdrawn, and that I 
       be permitted to die naturally.

            In the absence of my ability to give directions 
       regarding the use of such life-sustaining procedures, it 
       is my intention that this directive 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 have not been diagnosed as having a terminal 
       condition when I made out this directive.
