If I am so sick or seriously injured that I cannot express my own medical treatment preferences, and if I am not expected to live without additional treatment for my illness, disease, condition or injury, then I want my medical care team to know that these are the things that are most important to me:

  1. Avoiding prolonged dependence on machines
  2. Not being a physical burden to my family
  3. Dying at home
