The mere fact that the patient is on morphine is not alone sufficient to prohibit notarization. What matters is whether or not the patient is sufficiently conscious to fully understand what he or she is doing. Many people in that situation will have so-called "good moments and bad moments" and it is possible that there will be times when the person is capable of understanding his or her actions. The notary will have to make a judgment as to the patient's capacity to know what he or she is doing. Sometimes it is best for a notary to refuse to do it unless a doctor says the patient understands things. This answer is for informational purposes only.

CAN a person request to reprogram the morphine machine justified by an ethical right to decide the course of his own death?

It is acceptable to increase morphine for pain, anxiety or respiratory distress but I would be hesitant to increase it at the request of patient or family to "speed up the dying process".


Why stop giving morphine to a dying man?

Morphine could very well nauseate the dying man, which means that vomiting in his condition would be very uncomfortable, as well as non-productive. Morphine is not the drug of choice of many physicians in recent years. Not only is it often not as effective as more recent drugs, but can be halucinatory, confusing, and upsetting to the stomach
