"This is just pushing the Euthanasia evil into our faces just a little bit more"

Sorry, I don't agree with anyone on this board that this is horrible to have a DNR order. We are not talking about actively killing this little girl. We are talking about, if she collapses, or her heart stops beating, that the parents don't want her to be subjected to resuscitation efforts. I think is the epitome of cruelty to put someone who is terminal through anything like CPR or ACLS. The person is trying to go peacefully. The last thing I would want for myself or my loved ones is to have someone pounding on my chest and shoving a tube down my throat and poking me with needles. There is a big difference between actively killing someone with a lethal injection, and allowing a peaceful death. This isn't the same as Terri Schiavo and purposeful starvation.

That is not the issue as I see it nor as most on this thread. The issue is that the parents are dragging everyone else into their moral choice not to resuscitate their child, whether it conflicts with their set of morals or not.
