This Living Will is designed to comply with the Nevada Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Act.

Part II: Health Care Directives

In the event that I am incapacitated and unable to personally communicate my wishes, I direct that:

1. My health care providers and caregivers shall conform to the directions given in this Living Will, even if those directions conflict with other recommendations or standard procedures.
2. All my care must aim to maintain my dignity and provide comfort, even if it does not extend my life.
3. If I am diagnosed with an irreversible condition that will lead to death within a relatively short time and I am unable to communicate my wishes, I direct that life-sustaining treatment be withheld or withdrawn. This includes artificial respiration, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), dialysis, surgery, and other invasive procedures.
4. If I am in a persistent vegetative state and unlikely to regain consciousness or cognitive function, I request that life-sustaining treatment, including artificially provided nutrition and hydration, be withdrawn, allowing natural death to occur.
5. I understand that pain relief and comfort care must be aggressively pursued and provided, even if it hastens my death.
