addresses: Permanent, severe brain damage and I am unable to recognize my family and friends

goal:

• Goals, preferences, and priorities under certain health conditions [Reported]; 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: Avoiding prolonged dependence on machines, Not being a physical burden to my family, Dying at home
• Information to tell doctors if I have a severe, irreversible brain injury or illness and can't dress, feed, or bathe myself, or communicate my medical wishes, but can be kept alive [Reported]; If my health ever deteriorates due to a terminal illness, and my doctors believe I will not be able to interact meaningfully with my family, friends, or surroundings, I would like for them to keep trying life-sustaining treatments until my healthcare agent decides it is time to stop and such treatments and let me die gently.
• Religious or cultural beliefs [Reported]; If I appear to be approaching the end of my life, here are some things that I would like for my caregivers to know about my faith and my religion. Please call Father Mark if my condition warrants the services of a priest.
