death
2. LST may be withheld or withdrawn lawfully under certain conditions from persons who no
longer retain decision-making capacity, based on the fundamental right to Autonomy,
Privacy and Dignity
3. AMD that meets specified requirements is a legally valid document
4. For a patient without capacity, FLST proposals should be made by consensus among a group
of at least 3 physicians who form the Primary Medical Board (PMB)
5. The PMB must explain the illness, the medical treatment available, alternative forms of
treatment, and the consequences of remaining treated and untreated to fully inform the
surrogate
6. A Secondary Medical Board (SMB) of 3 physicians with one appointee by the Chief Medical
Officer (CMO) of the district must validate the decision by the PMB
