The statistics are bad. I am a DNR. I am not terminal other than we all are. It seems everyone wants to die peacefully in their sleep. Well once you're on the ground with no heartbeat that is your wish fulfilled. Something is going to get me. I'd prefer a sudden death than a slow one from some painful or debilitating illness.

Perfectly valid choice (not that my opinion matters). On the other hand, I'm very glad for the four years and counting I've had with my father due to the out of hospital CPR he received.
