@kayraymat my understanding of a DNR - Do Not Resuscitate - means do not resuscitate in the event of a heart attack. I don’t think letting someone die without food or water, or without tube feeding, comes under a DNR directive from a patient. Starving a person to death seems inhumane to me and even if a person refuses to eat for whatever reason (difficulty swallowing being one, in which case the patient should be tube fed).
