		The Act permits an individual to execute a declaration that instructs a physician to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment in the event the individual is in a terminal condition and is unable to participate in medical treatment decisions.
		Most of the "life-sustaining treatment" and "terminal condition" definitions in existing statutes were considered problematical in that they (1) were tautological, defining "terminal condition" with respect to "life-sustaining treatment" and vice versa, and (2) defined terminal condition as requiring "imminent" death "whether or not" or "regardless of" the application of life-sustaining treatment.
		The terminal condition definition of subsection (9) requires that death result "in a relatively short time." Rejecting the "imminency" language employed in a number of statutes, this alternative was chosen because it provides needed flexibility and reflects the balancing character of the time frame judgment.

		In 1989, this act has been extensively revised to incorporate the notion of durable power of attorney and to provide a mechanism for obtaining consent when no document that can be called a "living will" or a "durable power of attorney" has ever been executed.
		URTIA establishes that any designation of an attorney-in-fact or of a judicially appointed guardian, is identical with appointing a surrogate decision-maker, and suffices as a declaration appointing one.
		First, there must be a "terminal condition", which is defined an "an incurable and irreversible condition that, without the administration of life-sustaining treatment, will, in the opinion of the attending physician, result in death within a relatively short time." Second, the declarations authorized in URTIA reach only to the administration of "life-sustaining" treatment.

		In the United States, a Uniform Act is an act proposed by the Uniform Law Commissioners, more formally known as the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL), a body of lawyers and other professionals who work for the standardisation of U.S. state laws.
		Some legal scholars have argued that the existence and codification of Uniform acts, most notably the Uniform Commercial Code has given American law less of a common law flavor and made it more similar to a civil law system.

		The Uniform Rights of the Terminally Ill Act (1985, revised 1989), has been recommended as a Uniform Act in the United States, and subsequently been passed by many states.
		The law allows a person to declare a living will specifying that, if the situation arises, he or she does not wish to be kept alive through life support if terminally ill and/or in a coma.

		The treatment of terminally ill individuals after they lose the capacity to control their own treatment is the classic case.
		The concern has expanded beyond the plight of terminally ill individuals to those who are in a permanent coma, in a persistent vegetative state, or in one or another of the rarer conditions that have in common the permanent loss of cognitive life.
		However, it followed that Act with the Uniform Rights of the Terminally Ill Act in 1985 (amended in 1989), which addresses the narrower issues of dying patients.

		People already have the right to make informed consent decisions telling their family and physicians how they want to be treated if and when they can no longer make decisions for themselves.
		Under laws recognizing Living Wills, when there is some question about whether the patient is terminally ill or not, the safest course for the physician would be to withdraw all life-sustaining treatment rather than attempt to preserve the life of the patient and risk being sued for failing to carry out the Living Will.

	RIGHTS OF THE TERMINALLY ILL ACT
		The Rights of the Terminally Ill Act is a controversial law legalising euthanasia passed by Australia's Northern Territory in 1995, and nullified in 1997 by the federal Parliament.
		Passed by the Territorial Parliament on May 25, 1995 under the stewardship of Marshall Perron and entering into law on July 1, 1996, the Act allowed terminally ill patients to commit medically assisted suicide, either by the direct involvement of a physician or by procurement of drugs.
		The Act received both widespread support from "death with dignity" groups who saw it as model to be followed elsewhere, and widespread condemnation from euthanasia opponents who sought to overturn it.

		Additionally, if the mother’s parental constitutional rights had been asserted from the beginning, it is much more likely that she would still be able to decide the fate of her baby.
		With a shake of the head, the court dismissed the parents’ constitutional parental rights argument because of their failure to even present such an argument to Judge Spicer at the lower court level.
		She pointed out that the Uniform Rights of the Terminally Ill Act includes a detailed process for making the decision to remove life support.

		People would not abuse euthanasia under this act, because it is specifically for the terminally ill. Under this law only those patients who are terminally ill can lawfully end their lives.
		What if a terminally ill patient is not really terminally ill? If laws legalizing euthanasia were put into effect, there would be a 30-day waiting period before the treatment was administered.
		Therefore, a change in euthanasia rights may not be too far in the future.

	Euthanasia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		On March 6 an eleven judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals voted 8-to-3 to knock down Washington's ban on assisted suicide as it applies to terminally ill adults, arguing that the Due Process clause of the 14th amendment guarantees the "right" of such patients to receive "life-ending medication" to hasten their deaths.
		Here the argument was that there is no "rational basis" for banning the prescribing of lethal drugs to terminally ill patients, when the State already recognizes their right to hasten death by refusing unwanted medical treatment.
		We consider it less important who administers the medication than who determines whether the terminally ill person's life shall end." 3 So ends any firm barrier against lethal injections by physicians; instead we are to rely on the voluntariness of the patient's own decision.

		If the patient is incompetent and is in a terminal condition or in a persistent vegetative state, and no advance directive has been executed, the physician should document: (a) That the patient is incompetent.
		In cases involving incompetent patients who are not in a terminal condition or persistent vegetative state, the physician should consult with the Ethics Committee and shall notify hospital administration.
