2021 Pennsylvania Consolidated & Unconsolidated Statutes|Title 20 - DECEDENTS, ESTATES AND FIDUCIARIES|Chapter 54 - Health Care|Section 5423 - Legislative findings and intent

 § 5423. Legislative findings and intent. (a) Intent.--This chapter provides a statutory means for competent adults to control their health care through instructions written in advance or by health care agents or health care representatives and requested orders. Nothing in this chapter is intended to:  (1) affect or supersede the holdings of In re Fiori 543 Pa. 592, 673 A.2d 905 (1996); (2) condone, authorize or approve mercy killing, euthanasia or aided suicide; or (3) permit any affirmative or deliberate act or omission to end life other than as defined in this chapter.  (b) Presumption not created.--This chapter does not create any presumption regarding the intent of an individual who has not executed an advance health care directive to consent to the use or withholding of life-sustaining treatment in the event of an end-stage medical condition or in the event the individual is permanently unconscious.  (c) Findings in general.--The General Assembly finds that:  (1) Individuals have a qualified right to make decisions relating to their own health care.  (2) This right is subject to certain interests of society, such as the maintenance of ethical standards in the medical profession and the preservation and protection of human life.  (3) Modern medical technological procedures make possible the prolongation of human life beyond natural limits.  (4) The application of some procedures to an individual suffering a difficult and uncomfortable process of dying may cause loss of dignity and secure only continuation of a precarious and burdensome prolongation of life.  (5) It is in the best interest of individuals under the care of health care providers if health care providers initiate discussions with them regarding living wills and health care powers of attorney during initial consultations, annual examinations, at diagnosis of a chronic illness or when an individual under their care transfers from one health care setting to another so that the individuals under their care may make known their wishes to receive, continue, discontinue or refuse medical treatment in the event that they are diagnosed with an end-stage medical condition or become permanently unconscious.  (6) Health care providers should initiate such discussions, including discussion of out-of-hospital do-not-resuscitate orders, with individuals under their care at the time of determination of an end-stage medical condition and should document such discussion in the individual's medical record.

(b) Transfer.--The attending physician or health care provider under subsection (a) shall make every reasonable effort to assist in the transfer of the principal to another physician or health care provider who will comply with the living will or health care decision of the health care agent or health care representative.  (c) Employee or staff member of health care provider.-- (1) An employee or a staff member of a health care provider may not be required to participate in the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment.  (2) A health care provider that is an employer may not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against its employee or staff member as a result of informing the employer of the employee's choice not to participate in the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment.  (3) A health care provider that is an employer may require its employee or staff member to express in writing the wishes or unwillingness of the employee or staff member as set forth in this subsection.  (d) Liability.--If transfer under subsection (b) is impossible, the provision of life-sustaining treatment to a principal may not subject an attending physician or a health care provider to criminal or civil liability or administrative sanction for failure to carry out either the provisions of a living will or a health care decision of a health care agent or health care representative.
