Advance Medical Directive Gives
Option To Refuse Life Support
BY JULIE HENRY
Special To Tka CAROLINIAN
Since Dec. 1, any adult patient
who is admitted to a hospital or
nursing home, or begins to receive
care from a home health agency or
hospice, will notice a change in pro
cedure. In addition to questions
about their illness or insurance,
patients will be asked a new ques
tion: "Do you have an advance medi
cal directive?"
This question is part of a new fed
eral law which requires health care
providers to inform patients about
their rights to medical treatment.
Patienta will be told that they have
the option of preparing an advance
medical directive—a legal document
that outlines the patient’s wishes to
receive or refuse life support should
he or she become incapacitated.
The federal law concerning ad
vance directives iscalled the Patient
Self-Determination Act. It was en
acted following the death of Nancy
Cruzan, a Missouri factory worker
who was injured in an auto accident.
Her life was sustained for seven
years through food and water tubes.
Cruzan’s parents fought to have her
feeding tubes removed, saying their
daughter would not have wanted to
live in a vegetative state. After con
vincing the courts, the Cruzan* had
the feeding tubes withdrawn, and
Nanzy Cruzan died on Dec. 26,1990.
In North Carolina, there are two
types of advance directives—the
living will and the health care power
of attorney. The living will is a writ

“At Motown it was promotions and

high-school youth, as the high
school-level Carousel participants
joined with other youth from area
high schools in a day of educational,
cultural and social growth.
A&T State University, one of the
oldest black land-grant institutions
in North Carolina and which re
cently celebrated its centennial, had
as its theme, "Focus on Excellence.”
This focus was implemented
through the general information
shared with the group as a whole,
opportunity for the youth to visit the
many booths set up to give the spe
cifics of the programs offered in this
university setting, guided tours and
open house.
Other special attractions were
given by the university’s Drama
Players, gospel and university
choirs, the Aggies "Marching Ma
chine” band, the football game with
Delaware State and the Greek-let
ter organizations in a step-show
panorama of step routines. Greet

lunch brought UnivettSty Day to a
close for the Carousel youth.
Upon their return to Raleigh,
Lucille Webb, a member of Delta

chaperones on the trip, summarized
the way the trip correlated and
complemented the recently-held
Black College Fair at Enloe High

ers Leon and Wane had been
shuffled from foster home to foster
home before Morris and Ruby Cole
adopted them, so it was heard for
them to believe their nomadic exis
tence was over.
"They were knocked around so
much it was hard for them to think
beyond tomorrow, but once they got
into a stable home environment,
they were all right,” said Cole, who
lives in Greensboro. ”1 told them—
and my wife told them—on more
than one occasion: This is home.
This is it.' ”
More children in North Carolina
need to hear thoee words as the
number needing homes continues to
grow, social workers told the Win
ston-Salem Journal in Friday’s edi
tions.
“I wouldn’t say we’re desperate,
but it’s close,” said Edna Blevins, a
social worker with the Children’s
Home Society of North Carolina,
Inc.
Most of the children waiting to be
adopted are so-called "hard to place”
children: They are of mixed race,
they have disabilities or medical
problems or they are not babies.
Some have brothers or sisters, and
social workers are reluctant to split
siblings, social worker say.
At least 600 of these youngsters
are waiting for someone to take
them in. And an additional 400 will
soon be released for adoption by the
courts, officials said.
The Children’s Home Society, a
non-profit adoption agency spon
sored by United Way organisations
in various communities, is trying to
stir interest, Ms. Blevins said. The
society is holding information meet
ings on adoption.
' It is easier to adopt a child today,
Ms. Blevins said. Married couples or
single people can adopt, and they
don’t have to meet income require
ments as they did in the past, she
said.
Cole said the decision to adopt
Leon and Wayne was the best one he
and his wife have ever made. The
boys, who were eight and 10 when
they were adopted, are now teen
agers, and Cole said it feels as
though they have always been a
family.
”We wouldn’t change it for the
world,” he said. The best thing you
can do for these kids is open your
hearts and open your home.”
Emily Wall agrees. She and her
husband, Gary, of Winston-Salem,
adopted their son, Adam, almost
three years ago when he was 11
months old. The boy is severely dis
abled—he cannot walk or talk, he
suffers from seizures and he is

Enloe Debate Focuses
On World Politics Issues
When W. G. Enloe High School
organized the debate in Spring 1965,
by former principal Diane Payne, the
purpoae was to develop leadership in
speaking, to overcome fear of
communicating in front of a large
crowd, and to be aware of current
events. Since the debate has been a
success with the help of Dr. John
Wollen, the director of the debate
program, who has 100 students
participate each year in the debate.
The debate focuses on two topics: the
national topic, which is geared
.towards political issues nnd the topic
changes each year. The Lincoln
Douglas value focuses on moral
Issues and changes every two
months. Since Enloe High has the
only competitive speaking program
in the Wake County area, students
who succeed in the debate go on to
compete against other schools.
Most of the children
waiting to be adopted
are so-called “hard to
place” children: they
are of mixed race,
they have disabilities
or medical problems
or they are not babies.
Some have brothers
and sisters, and social
workers are reluctant
to split siblings.
Out of the Wake County area, this
year Ayodele Cairo became the first
freshman at Enloe High School to win
the hidden finals.
She centered her debate on poetry
dealing with society and the world.
But poetry is not the only hobby
Ayodele loves. Ballet is another
hobbv.
Other winners were Adia Harvey.
whose topic was education ana who
came in sixth place in the first
tournament. Sherita Young's debate
was on the inner strength and she also
came in sixth place.
The debate was held at Fayetteville
Smith High School and Edison High
School. The winners received
trophies in the state level and
scholarships on the national level.
