COM . life caregiver and they do not need to be notified. Part of this modification would require that an individual named as an the executor of an end of life directive would need to be notified and agree to execute the patient’s desires,” Greenlick said. The summation of HB 4135 provided on Oregon.gov states the bill would establish a committee for the purpose of adopting a form of advanced directive to be used in the state. It also states the purpose of the bill is to modify the law by which an individual is selected to make healthcare decisions for another individ- ual incapable of making healthcare decisions for them- selves. Yelle is supportive of the need for this particular ele- ment of HB 4135. “I do not want to get to the point in my life — or my The Chick en Coop O N M A P L E We have NEW ARRIVALS for Spring!

The changes proposed in this bill would address that problem,” he said. The committee that would be created by the passage of HB 4135 would consist of one member that represents primary health care pro- viders, one who represents hospitals, one medical ethi- cist, one member who represents individuals with disabilities, one from the state bar with experience in assisting consumers with end of life issues and one that represents the long-term care community, among others with related experi- ence. Significant opposition exists to the passage of HB 4135, primarily organized by the group Oregon Right to 7 A Life. Information on the group’s website suggests that the changes proposed in the advance directive law would, “Endanger patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s by putting vulnerable patients who may not have supportive advocates at risk of starvation or dehydration.” Other groups in support of HB 4135, including AARP, believe the bill is a positive step in clarifying a patient’s end of life desires, as stated at last weeks hearing: “As our society ages, and more of us need to plan ahead, this update of Oregon’s Advance Directives law allows for a stronger engagement on these tough issues of when one lacks capacity to communi- cate. We urge you to vote yes on HB 4135.” For more information on HB 4135, visit Oregon.gov. FEC Yard Sale next Saturday The Indoor Yard Sale is coming to the Florence Events Center on Saturday, Feb. 24.
