daniela -“If we are aware that someone’s children have signed a DNR which does not faithfully represent the person’s wishes, but rather the family’s wishes, we know what theoretically we have to do – according to the law of the land. We have to let authorities know (right now, not when the person is in arrest). Secular law is far from perfect but it has provisions for these situations. If the patient is fully of sound mind, he/she will state or write down his wishes for medical care and EOL in front of the required witnesses; otherwise the court will appoint a guardian who will be in charge of deciding,”
C’mon now -let’s say she has Dementia so the kids are her legal guardians’. And she didn’t write a statement prior to her dementia about her future desires regarding health -care. But the Rov still says No DNR -so my case stands. You are looking to Nit-pick – WHY?
