DNR basically says if anything happens to me like catostrophic injury I'm not be put on life support, CPR, shocked etc I'm not to be recessitated.

I typed one myself in the states but found out it's invalid w/a lawyer I guess.

DNR's aren't given out lightly and I believe you need to meet certian requirements too. I'm not sure if a Doc at the Naval Hospital would give you one. But it wont hurt to ask...

Sweet. Sounds like a superb plan indeed.

Why would you request a DNR order? If something happens, you won't be given help if you go into cardiac or respiratory arrest.

I don't want the help. If I go into cardiac arrest or whatever that's my time to go. My chance to say adios for good.

So if you had an accident, or for some reason your heart or breathing stopped.. even though you could live a long life after your resuscitation, you would opt for death?

Remember, you don't need to be on a deathbed for a DNR to be followed.
