This declaration of Will , provided I am still in possession of my full mental faculties, can be modified by me at any time:
The persons involved in the present procedure must be aware of this.


The main aim of this document is to preserve the dignity of my person,
and to affirm my right to choose the medical treatments
I am proposed and, if I so wish, to refuse some or all of them.
This right must be guaranteed to me even if I had lost the faculty to express my opinion about it.

This in order to avoid treatments whose aim would be only to prolong my life in an unconscious,
vegetative state and to delay an inevitable death.

I want that a copy of this Will be sent to the Association Exit-Italia for the right to a dignified death,
seated in Turin Corso Monte cucco 144 (Italia) , association of which I am a member.


Signature of the testator (legible and handwritten)

Special disposition


In case of interruption of the treatments did not cause my death,
I ask that I be submitted to Euthanasia by the most suitable method to procure me a dignified death without useless pain.
