As far as the pain medication, I chose “Do Not Want” because if I am presumed to die shortly it would be a waste of money. Antibiotics are great, any medication to help my body fight off any infection is an acceptable idea. Blood products are acceptable however, my desire is fore my Declarant or Maranda to ensure the blood given is clean and my blood type. The reason I say this is because elements from other human bodies make me feel uneasy at times and I am not sure how I feel about organs or blood from another human.
