Living Wills

Death is as natural as birth, is the only certainty in life we ​​do not know is how that process will face. This document will write and sign in full possession of my mental faculties today August 9, 2013, in my capacity as American Colombian citizen. I live in Florida and I am physically and mentally owner of my actions. But, if it should when I Maria Soledad Rico Sanin can not participate in decisions concerning my health, I ask that the following statement is taken and is respected as a clear and faithful expression of my will, freely expressed, with full legal capacity and use of my mental faculties.
If a situation arises where there is no hope of treating or curing my illness - ie I'm in terminal state, in any alzahmier disease, terminal cancer, lung deficiency, or some other disease that incapacitates me and that hinders or avoid me to fend for myself - I ask that you do not use treatments, medications, or extreme measures aimed unreasonably and unnecessarily prolong my life or keep using artificial, which does not exclude that I provide the necessary care to ease my suffering. For measures
extreme, as an example, I as follows: CPR, mechanical ventilation or artificial nutrition invasive measures, renal dialysis. In the event that the decision not to prolong my existence lengthening mechanisms follow my existence, I request euthanasia as practiced by Dr. Colombian Gustavo Alfonso Quintana well: access my venous system through an IV for which I apply request a serum, and through this is injected:
1. A sedative (usually utilizing a benzodiazepine), which produces a dream I almost immediately.
Two. An intravenous general anesthetic, in one and half to two times, the dose required to laparotomy to nullify some of my reflex responses.
Three. And finally, as does Dr. Quintana, one heart depolarizer who reaches the heart produces a complete relaxation of the heart muscle thereby ceases pulse and begin my death.
This decision took after careful thought, years of research work on the subject of death and dying with dignity. I make this decision on the basis of the National Constitution of Colombia and in accordance with U.S. laws and universal that can fulfill my desire to die with dignity and without pain without suffering unbearable and especially unworthy. Manifesto further that in case of illness or injury suffered brain eg stroke (infarction, hemorrhage, stroke, vascular occlusion), a result which left with physical or mental limitations by losing my autonomy, I do not want to be resurrected, reanimated or supported artificially, because I'd rather die than be in such conditions.
