Dogs do not have many advantages over people, but one of them is extremely important: euthanasia is not forbidden by law in their case; animals have the right to a merciful death.

This is so true. If you don't put down your pet you're being cruel, if you put down Granny, you're a murderer.

several of my oldies have complained at the injustice of this.

our fear of death has turned us into a society or torturers.

It's really ridiculous. We sit and watch our loved ones suffer, or slooooooly drift into god knows what.

worse than that, they will make 20 minute 'heroic' resuscitations on those who are already dying or who have lost all quality of life, robbing them of a peaceful death.

it makes me fume.

Ugg, that's just awful. Let them drift off.
 
Supermarket is not good enough, for them. *get off of my lawn, and take your new- fangled hypermarket with you!*

Do not mess with my "Do not resuscitate" order.
 
I believe in death with dignity and that people should have a choice of being resuscitated.

I'm not going to write a 10,000 word essay on the incredibly complex legal and moral issues that rear their ugly head when one treads this ground. Suffice it to say that things can get very murky; this is not simple stuff.


Every U.S. citizen should execute an "Advance Directive" ( also known as a living will, personal directive or advance decision— a legal document in which a person specifies what actions should be taken for their healthcare if they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves because of illness or incapacity. In the U.S. it has a legal status in itself ) specifying their wishes. Not only does this make their intentions and desires for end-of-life healthcare explicit, it makes decisions for their family members/caregivers immeasurably easier and provides the necessary legal "cover" for healthcare providers who are rightfully concerned about the potential for the legal consequences of their actions.

it being hard isn't reason enough to deny everyone, in every case.
 
Noor! are you assuming that i'm window shopping for attractive, muscular, subby boys? that I would alleviate both frustration and boredom by finding someone to humour me and pander to my very fickle whim?? shame on you!

...I may get bored of this. I may not.

So you are not holding auditions yet? ;)
 


If you do not execute an "Advance Directive," there will be no choice— healthcare providers are legally and morally duty-bound to resuscitate you (if you are incapacitated and incapable of expressing your wishes).

this is true. I have done it, and I have felt ashamed of myself for doing it. I gave it my best efforts, but I was truly glad when my efforts and those of the paramedics failed completely.

I do not see nearly enough DNR orders in people's files. when I see them I am grateful that someone cared enough to create one.
 
Unless you are in hospice or no one calls them.



To repeat:

I suspect that, even in a hospice, the paperwork is required.

a DNR agreed by the docs and the patient and/or relatives, depending on capacity.

In hospice you sign stuff when you come in and people are pretty good about obeying DNR.

In rehab units, someone I knew was resuscitated twice against a DNR, and then they refused to stop life support even with a court order, until officers of the court forced them to allow it. The place also charged for the care after the first resuscitation until death.

You should know that in hospitals, these directives are often not given consideration when family members are wailing about how you must do everything to save 97 year old granny. If the family wants it, they get it because, really, what 97 year old if she survived would sue the hospital for saving her. I have been involved in ridiculous surgeries that are only going to prolong pain and suffering of my patient who will die in a week or two later. It is the part of my job I hate the most.
