I'm curious about two things:
1) are you advocating getting a flat out DNR order in your advanced directives / living will (do not ressus, period)? or just having advanced medical directives which say when you should be a DNR case?
If the former then I think that is a more nuanced discussion than just "good advice", considering you might be facing a reversible drug overdose for instance [2].
2) Do these the law firms typically walk through all the hypothetical scenarios to say under which one you should be DNR? The reversible overdose etc. case is one which I would be interested in vs. long-term vegetative state, etc. - I would understandably want to clarify there.

- crispyambulance 7y ago1) DNR "rules" are covered (in my family's case) in a document called "Health Care Directives". It has a number of options and the options are selected by initialing. YMMV depending, I think, on state laws. 2) The firm I used had a meeting where the family members sat down and discussed everything with a lawyer. We were able to ask detailed questions and get answers. It was helpful and very worth the expense, because we used that knowledge later on to transfer property "the right way" so that it would stay in the family rather than being used entirely for medical-assistance spend-down.
