Since the enactment of Law 26529, you have the power to give Advance Directives.
What is an advance directive?
An advance directive tells your doctor what kind of care you would like if you become unable to make your own medical decisions; for example, if you were in a coma.
A good advance directive describes the kind of treatment you want depending on how sick you are. For example, the guidelines would describe what type of care you want if you have an illness from which you are unlikely to recover, or if you are permanently unconscious.
Advance directives usually tell your doctor that you do not want certain types of treatment. (e.g., a DO NOT RESUSCITATE ORDER may be implemented). However, they may also say that you want a certain type of treatment no matter how sick you are.
This is an exemplary model for a better understanding of the provisions of Law 26,529 in its art. 11.
Everything that the grantor considers necessary can be included, except those that involve developing euthanasia practices. Which will be considered non-existent, with the limit of public order, morality and good customs.
The declaration of will must be formalized in writing before a notary public or first instance courts. For which the presence of two (2) witnesses will be required.
