INITIAL ONLY ONE:
I want to receive a feeding tube.
I DO NOT WANT a feeding tube.
INITIAL ONLY ONE:
I want all life support that may apply.
I want NO life support.

INITIAL ONLY ONE:
I want to receive a feeding tube.
I DO NOT WANT a feeding tube.
INITIAL ONLY ONE:
I want all other life support that may apply.
I want NO life support.
3. If I have a progressive illness that will be fatal and is in an advanced stage, and I am
consistently and permanently unable to communicate by any means, swallow food and water
safely, care for myself and recognize my family and other people, and it is very unlikely that my
condition will substantially improve:
INITIAL ONLY ONE:
I want to receive a feeding tube.
I DO NOT WANT a feeding tube.
INITIAL ONLY ONE:
I want all life support that may apply.
I want NO life support.
