Real Talk,
I absolutely understand where you are coming from. And the halacha does not require the resuscitation of a patient that is suffering and does not want to continue to live.
However, all that is only relevant if, in fact the patient was someone who did not want to be resuscitated. If the patient wanted to be resuscitated than it is truly awful for someone to let them die.
