I have been rethinking my stand about death lately .I look forward to my rest in hell but it can wait.?
A DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order is not the same as a request for help to commit suicide. It is just a request to be allowed to die with dignity. My uncle had severely thin bones along with a heart condition, & so had a DNR. When he had his second heart attack, as he requested, he was not resuscitated. If he had been, in the process his ribs would surely have been broken, & the remainder of his life would have been very painful (he was already in his 90s). BTW, he was a J.W. There is nothing unscriptural about not opting to utilize all of the newest medical techniques available. Quality of life IS very important. In your file at your doctor's office you can have them put a copy of your request, & it is good to have something in your wallet, as well. Whatever is considered legally binding where you live.
