Legal, Ethical, Emotional Issues Surrounding Euthanasia 1

Do you realize that many Nursing Homes are "Do Not Attempt Resusitation" (DNAR) facility? At the time of admission a new resident "must" sign a waiver agreeing to give up their rights to an Advance Directive for CPR & Defibrillation. In order to gain admission they "must" sign the DNAR waiver. In the event of Cardiac Arrest the staff will call "911" and allow the resident to die while waiting for the EMTs to arrive. This is legal protocol in the U.S.A. In my opinion, legalized euthanasia.

Damn what an A-hole dorothy timbs was. It was the state's decision and it had so much review as it is. I personally find it offensive that Dorothy would refer to her as Terri Schindler Schiavo as it was not a name that Terri took anytime during her life.
