So you are against DNR orders as well? I don't see how this relates at all to the discussion truth be told.

I am sure that people slip through the cracks and that awful things happen such as people not being properly consulted regarding a DNR order, however at the same time I have yet to see this in Canada in my actual experiences it is quite the opposite in which physicians and other health care professionals were routinely advised of a patient's code status and they had a family meeting in order to discuss the issue.

That being said there is a difference between physician assisted suicide and murder, one implies choice on the part of the patient in this case and the other does not. People have the right to chose to live and die with dignity, it isn't up to you or anyone else to tell them otherwise in my opinion.
