Me again. trained for a few hours in cpr and defib. I am not an expert in DNR or CPR and you'll be lucky to live if I get your case as I'm no pro. However, it would take a clear case of hopelessness for me to NOT revive, like maybe you weigh 50 pounds and obviously at death's door and your DNR is on the fridge, signed 5 years ago.

I have personally known two cases in FLorida where family members wanted the elder dead for financial gain, and were successful at not having them resuscitated. That is about as ugly as humanity gets.
