What conditions would you have a DNR order?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) January 6th, 2011

Under what condition would you have a DNR order? I had a friend who had a DNR if it appeared that keeping him alive meant he would be a vegetable, or hooked up to a machine to keep him alive or if he lived he would be either be a space cadet or just a head attached to a body that didn’t work. If his capacity of life would be more than moderately degraded he had orders no heroics be used to preserve his life. What conditions would you ever entertain a DNR?
