Giving the time Obama will appoint a DNR Czar, probably Jack Kevorkian if he is still available. And in time you could have the Soylent Green scenario, life has a expiration date, and where you reach a certain age and your not worth the time anymore.....you are then cast to the trash heap.
1. I don't need the .GOV to counsel me on DNR or create a bureaucracy to counsel on such matters. The fact as I know them are that at least some hospitals already counsel patients and provide the forms for DNR.
2. Some Doctors believe they are life givers and not life takers. Things such as this clause could in time infringe on care givers decisions and their personal beliefs and rights.
The whole Health Care Bill has a foul stench that grows stronger the deeper you dig into the 1000 plus pages.
