Is this not equivalent to a DNR?

Not really ~ an accident happens ~ someone is hurt ~ this particular order will cause a serious delay in assisting the injured because the bureaucrats want the first responders to call up and check the list first.

Your local public streets really aren't like hospitals you know.

Car accident... ambulance arrives.. the cop says hurry... but after checking the man he has a DNR in the database and the ambulance leaves.

nice.

It's not even close.

Is this not equivalent to a DNR?

That's my impression.

I wonder how safe the online registry is. Can someone go online and enter a DNR for somebody else without their knowledge? A little conspiratorial, I know, but I'm just sayin' . . .

DNR are done everyday in hospitals in this country..My father signed one when he went into the hospital. Some hospitals use the term NO CODE and its written on the very front of the chart...patients choice, not government's or anyone else..

I don’t think so. Some frail sick ppl can defintely not
survive standard resuscitation. (The overuse of the DNR
and using it as a “DNT” Do Not Treat are other issues)
This is the equivalent of pressuring otherwise non
hospitalized persons to forego treatment in the broadest
terms. Would appreciate more from those with expertise.
