Regarding to the concept of refusing the medical treatment, it has been occurring in the United States of America and other countries. The reject of blood transfusion due to the religious belief, unable to heal due to the high medical expense and living in the desolate society without relatives therefore they refused to the treatment.

The statements can be summarized as: persons have right of writing a letter of intent to refuse the medical treatment that is just to prolong life or to end the suffering from illness. If the doctor has followed the letter of intent under paragraph one, he or she is not considered as doing the wrong action.
