Advance Directive for Voluntary Stopping of Eating and Drinking (VSED Directive)

Some progressive illnesses, like dementia, make you lose your ability to make decisions about your health care, including choosing medical aid in dying. VSED does not require a specific diagnosis or physician order, so it might be the only option for some people wishing to accelerate the process of dying.

This directive supplements and does not replace your current directive. Talking to your loved ones and legal surrogate is a most important step in assuring your wishes are met.
