OVERVIEW OF PERSONAL AND FAMILY SITUATION 1.1 Name: Priya Sharma, Mumbai Maharashtra India. 1.2 Priya is married to Arjun Sharma and they have two children aged 8 and 12. 1.3 Priya is currently healthy and has chosen to prepare this planning document proactively as an act of care for her family. 1.4 The key people who would be most involved in healthcare decisions on Priya's behalf are her husband Arjun and her sister Kavita. 2. PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT This document is Priya's personal preparation aid for her advance care planning consultations. It is designed to help her come to her attorney and healthcare provider appointments feeling organized and clear about her values and priorities. Every section reflects only Priya's own preliminary personal reflections for professional discussion. No part of this document has any legal or medical effect of any kind. 3. PERSONAL HEALTHCARE VALUES AND BELIEFS 3.1 Quality of life matters deeply to Priya. She has expressed that living with dignity, comfort, and the ability to engage meaningfully with her family is more important to her than extending the length of her life through aggressive medical intervention. 3.2 Priya's Hindu faith and values inform her thinking about death and the dying process. A peaceful passing, surrounded by family and conducted with the spiritual care appropriate to her faith, is deeply important to her. 3.3 Family involvement in any major medical decision is central to Priya's values. She wants her husband and sister to understand her wishes deeply so they can speak for her with confidence. 4. LIFE-SUSTAINING TREATMENT CONSIDERATIONS 4.1 Terminal illness scenario: If Priya were facing a terminal illness with no reasonable expectation of recovery, her general values suggest she would want comfort and dignity prioritized over aggressive medical intervention. Key discussion topic for her attorney and healthcare provider: How are these values most effectively documented in a formal advance directive under applicable Indian law? 4.2 Unconscious or vegetative state: Priya's values around quality of life suggest this is an important scenario to think through carefully with her attorney and healthcare provider. Key question: What are the medical realities and available options in this scenario and how can Priya's values be reflected clearly in a formal document? 5. PAIN MANAGEMENT AND COMFORT CARE 5.1 Freedom from pain and distress is a paramount priority for Priya. 5.2 Palliative and comfort-focused care that allows Priya to remain present, peaceful, and as comfortable as possible aligns deeply with her values. 5.3 Key question for her healthcare provider: What does comfort-focused care look like in practice in Mumbai and what palliative care services are available? 6. HEALTHCARE AGENT CONSIDERATIONS 6.1 Primary healthcare agent: Arjun Sharma (husband). Priya trusts Arjun because of his deep knowledge of her values, his emotional strength, and his commitment to honoring her wishes rather than his own. 6.2 Alternate healthcare agent: Kavita (sister), in case Arjun is not able to serve. 6.3 Key questions for her attorney: What does the role of a healthcare agent involve under applicable Indian law? How is a healthcare agent formally documented? What authority does the agent hold? Has Arjun been asked whether he is willing and prepared to take on this responsibility? 7. ORGAN AND TISSUE DONATION CONSIDERATIONS 7.1 Priya is open to organ and tissue donation if it is medically appropriate at the time of her passing. 7.2 Key questions for her attorney and healthcare provider: How is organ donation registered in Maharashtra India? What is the process for ensuring this wish is known and honored? Are there any considerations under Hindu traditions she should be aware of in relation to organ donation? 8. FUNERAL AND MEMORIAL WISHES 8.1 Priya wishes for Hindu funeral rites to be observed. 8.2 She wants her family to be present with her at the end of her life. 8.3 Key note: These wishes are most effectively communicated to family members directly and through a personal letter or memorandum rather than solely through a formal advance directive document which may not be read immediately. Priya's attorney can advise on the most effective approach. 9. KEY QUESTIONS TO RAISE WITH YOUR ATTORNEY Formal requirements: What are the specific legal requirements for a valid advance directive or equivalent document under applicable Mumbai and Indian law? What formal steps are required for it to be recognized by healthcare providers? Healthcare agent: How is a healthcare agent or proxy formally documented in this jurisdiction? What authority does Arjun hold and what are any limitations? Values documentation: How can Priya's values around quality of life, comfort care, and Hindu faith most effectively be reflected in a formal advance planning document? Organ donation: What is the correct registration process for organ donation wishes in Maharashtra? 10. KEY QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS WITH YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER Medical realities: What would treatment options look like in a terminal or unconscious scenario? What does palliative care look like in practice? Comfort care: What pain management and comfort-focused care options are available? How does the healthcare team approach end-of-life care in this setting? Spiritual care: Are there cultural or spiritual liaison services available to support Priya's family and Hindu practices during serious illness or end-of-life care? 11.
