Open Ban doctors from making decisions to make do not resuscitate (DNR) orders

Created by Julie McCavitt
Closes on

Ban doctors from making decisions not to attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A DNR order should only be put in place by a person themselves or by their family who have the power to do so. Make doctors request a court order to otherwise make a DNR order.
