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.

It's more than that.

Let's say an elderly person has a DNR due to a heart condition or something. They are walking down the street and get hit by a car and their leg is broken -- what then? Should they be left to suffer in agony with a broken leg? The trauma will surely kill them, but it will have NOTHING to do with the heart condition.

Is this not equivalent to a DNR? .... JoSixChip

Such systems have been around for years, right here in the U.S., and that's not the way it works.

After registering, if you do not want resuscitation, you MUST be wearing a DNR Bracelet to let the first responders know IMMEDIATELY what your wishes are.

You did not get a DNR Bracelet?

You get resuscitated.

You left you DNR Bracelet next to your toothbrush in the bathroom?

You get resuscitated.

Your DNR Bracelet got ripped off during the accident?

Sorry. Sh#t happens. You get resuscitated.
