What is the *how* that *they* will be treated in the Advance Directive

... for mental illness, is a legal *lasso* for *knowledge transfer*...right to life?

1.This *knowledge* of *how* is very well known to some *they* a small sub-set of population in India who have been treated/admitted > the *40* Mental Hospitals, Government hospitals, autonomous, mostly private mental health centres offering psychiatric treatments. This small sub-set who have the *knowledge* is a miniscule number of 65 million Indians with serious mental illness.

2. *Knowledge transmission* by the Government of India through intensive awareness campaigns on >*how* *they* will be treated for mental illness to the rest of the population in India> through *awareness campaigns mental illness* in cinema halls, multiplexes, markets, malls, schools, colleges, universities, in its colonies, near water wells and water taps where women congregate, routes in different terrains where women collect firewood, in buses, in trains, on highways, at toll centres where tax is collected,…is ominously missing.

3. *Knowledge transmission* by the Government of India on>*how* *they* will be treated for mental illness to the large set of the population through *awareness campaigns for mental illness* in television, radio, FM .…is not happening.
 
4. *Knowledge transmission* through intensive awareness campaigns Mental illness despite repeated appeals to the Ministry of Health of the Government of India over the years is not happening. 

5. There is munificence in *knowledge transmission* by the Government of India, to the population of India for Cancer, HIV/AIDS, reproductive organs, lungs… 

6. So what is the *how* unknown to most of the people in India 

7. So an *advance directive* mooted, trumpeted, propagated and being compared to a *living will* by some learned people (what moral values they learnt in their process of learning is questionable) for *how* to be treated, when most people in India do not know that treatments exist for mental illness…

8. In a will you *know* what you are bequeathing and to whom. A will comes into force after one’s death. 

9. In an Advance Directive, you are bequeathing your *knowledge* , your *traditional knowledge* , to the entities ... some yet to descend on us, rescue us, with their smooth talk, smiles, words, perfect looks, glamour… and glycerin induced tears. 

10. Advantageous to whom? And to protect …whom? (Yippee… let’s dance…mental illness is exercising legal capacity...contract...right to life...legal lasso)

11. Who would be the *entities*> gaining, making money from the *traditional knowledge transfers* through the Advance Directives? 

12.Which pool of knowledge would this traditional knowledge be going to?

13. SO far no *shared benefits* to those who bequeath *the Advance Directive*, the people of India with mental illness, on the road to becoming mentally ill, attempting suicides… 

14. If an advance directive comes into force after giving it to the >...entities does the Advance Directive translate into giving away one’s Right to Life when one is still alive?


Response to: Tell me please, pretty please before my *father* or *mother* are turned into *nominated representatives* what is the *how* in the Advance Directive.
