It is HARD to figure out if someone actually knows what a DNR entails if they do not know what it actually requires. Everyone can easily make a choice willingly to not file a DNR if they do not know what that requires. So now your grandmoth

Oh please, DNR is a complicated territory. Sometimes people are unable to vouch for themselves, or demand very invasive procedures. It's easy to claim that others deserve to have their demands met about procedures in the face of ration
