prohibition of treatment; advance refusal of treatment
Explanation:
'The best terminological distinctions in the Netherlands can be found in the standard forms supplied by the NVVE, the Dutch Association for Voluntary Euthanasia. Each form contains three parts:

- a behandelverbod (prohibition of treatment), that is, a refusal of treatment;
- a volmacht (mandate), that is, the appointment of a representative;
- an euthanasieverklaring, that is, an advance request for euthanasia.'

'2. What are advance refusals of treatment?

An **advance refusal of treatment** is one kind of advance directive. An advance directive (sometimes known as a 'living will') stipulates in advance the way one would wish to be treated in certain specified circumstances should one be incapable of making one's wishes clear at the time one needs treatment. An **advance refusal of treatment** makes clear what one would not wish to have done to one in circumstances in which one requires medical care. Since doctors cannot be obliged to give treatment which is contrary to their clinical judgment, advance refusals of treatment are the most significant type of advance directive.'
