I believe that there is no moral problem with a DNR order regarding someone who is terminally ill, but there is a moral problem with withholding nourishment.

So, in our living wills this is stated. No heroic measures in the event of a terminal illness, but any measure that will make us comfortable while we die is permitted.

We have no right to ask another to do anything to hasten our natural death.
