Damn, you really are stupid.
Obeying a DNR is not killing, euthanasia is, you are talking about two different things.
Why ask me what I would do? Do you think that me insisting that doctors not kill would be inconsistent with me making some sort of choice I have not indicated I would make?
I'm not stupid; calling me a name does confirm my opinion that you're to 'weak' to engage in polite discourse.
Of course you didn't respond to the second scenario wherein a doctor shuts off the equipment keeping someone alive.
In the abstract you are correct, not intervening when a patient's heart stops is not 'killing', it is however allowing a person to die when one has means to potentially prevent that death. Turning off the equipment keeping someone alive is an affirmative action, do you believe a doctor engaging in such an act should be arrested, his license to practice medicine revoked, and if convicted place in prison?
As for allowing a loved one to suffer for days, weeks or months - how have you decided?
Excuse me, this is not a political debate, it is a debate about a subject you know nothing about. Do not resuscitate orders are not euthanasia, only a complete and total ignoramus would ever confuse the two. That makes you stupid. your inability to admit that you were wrong in confusing them makes you pathetic.
My personal decisions about a private issue are none of your business.
It is a political issue and the question was do you support or not support euthanasia, and why. You posted an opinion, I responded and you continue to ignore the question - which is your right. I acknowledged DNR is not killing, per se, yet you continue to push that resolved point and ignore the second question.
Once again: "Turning off the equipment keeping someone alive is an affirmative action, do you believe a doctor engaging in such an act should be arrested, his license to practice medicine revoked, and if convicted placed in prison?"
So I'm going to assume you would allow a loved one to suffer even knowing that they wished to have the suffering end. If that is true, you've taken the callous conservative to a new lower level.
