Many have a DNR who are not at all ill. The data on successful outcome meaning survival without major brain damage of out of hospital CPR is grim, It is not unreasonable to elect to let nature take its course in the event of a full cardiac arrest rather than chance being "saved" then dealing with brain damage.

Of 130 arrests only 6 did not die or have significant damage. |
FYI a Tattoo on chest on two people of their “wallet size card” it isn’t legal. Have witnessed at least 10 “DNR” bold letter tatts on chests.
One person with overlapping hands exactly when one should CPR.
Our repeat sweet 95yo, former, Ziegfield follies girl had a CPR circle to make sure someone got it right.
