Advance Directives and DNR
Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2010 1:12 pm
I'm confused over the issue of advance directives and DNR. I very much do not want to persist on life support in a vegetative state or be among those poor creatures whose quality of life is worse than death nor do I wish to ruin my family financially in the process.
Damning my family and myself to abject poverty and a life worse than death is not something I wish for myself and those who have to make decisions when I began having heart attacks and serious problems related to my illness.
I'm very close to preparing advance directives and DNR and getting them on my medical records but am looking for Christian views on this to help me with my decision. I'd like Rich's views and your own views.
