How many people here wear a "Do Not Resuscitate" bracelet to show your commitment to reducing population?

I have ; Do everything in your goddamn power to resuscitate , tattoed on my forehead.I'll probably have that covered with a panther tattoo once I develop a terminal disease.
Perhaps the population would be less swayed to socialism if we had fewer examples of socialism from our "Free Market Capitalists". -----fiddler dave

Does "I want to have four kids at least" count? I want backup.

This has become quite a controversy just south of the state line in Toledo, OH. The city government has passed a new law last week requiring nursing homes to install automatic defibrulators. But a lot of older patients have DNR orders filed with the nursing homes. If one of them is revived by a well meaning person with one of these city mandated ADF's who gets sued, the nursing home or the city?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

"Do Not Resuscitate"
That statement of will is completely useless.
Medics are still obliged to treat suicide cases.
So if you fall very sick and get immobilized they will resuscitate you if need arise, carry on with tracheotomy and iv feeding and than plant you in doctors garden, just to support the economy.
Your will may not be taken into account and you may end up kept alive against your will just to please our entranced paradigms and those who follows them.
Concept of life quality is dead.
Our civilization embraced concept of life quantity.
The longer you suffer the better for pharma companies.

They will resuscitate you hours before you die from lethal injection - 'nuff said.

My father-in-law had a "do not resusitate" bracelet, and notice above his bed in the nursing home, and was allowed to die naturally.
So, in my experience, it is possible to be allowed to die, because it happened in my family. Nobody rushed in to keep him alive to make more money for the Illness Industry.

In our hospitals in Alberta, DNR status has been adopted as an option to a patient. I don't know if the fact that our Canadian, more socialist health care system has anything to do with it, but the choice is available.
In fact, if you come to hospital as a very elderly patient or one who has a terminal illness or a chronic illness which likely will end in death, you will be asked about your DNR status, whether you wish to be resuscitated should you have a cardiac arrest in hospital. Many times, patients who fit this description have a cardiac arrest, are not resuscitated and die very soon afterwards. However, a person who has decided to keep the "full resuscitation" status, even though very elderly and very chronically ill, can have a cardiac arrest, be resuscitated, and leave hospital a few days later.
So, for now it is a choice, quality of life vs. longevity, I guess. This is a change from only a few short years ago, though, when every cardiac arrest was treated with a full "crash cart" resuscitation.

seriously, (didn't mean to make my remark to sound mean, as I thought it sounded when I just reread it), I want to take this a step further; apart from a "do not resuscitate" -policy, terminal patients should have the option of euthanasia.....can you imagine dying for, maybe weeks on end under morphine, without being able to make your will known?
I'm still young but I intend to sign a decleration of how I'm to be handled in certain medical conditions, and luckily I live in a state that allows for that, however conservative these rules still are in my mind. (I know fox news has made very sick and false allegations regarding this about the policies that exist in the country I live in, and I still grid my teeth over how some igno's tried to attack me personally over it)
