What Does The Bible Say About Do Not Resuscitate Orders?

from Ask Dr. E · host Michael Easley

Full Question: What does the Bible say about death and dying, and how it applies Do Not Resuscitate orders? I am an ICU nurse and I deal with death on a regular basis, and lately I've been having conversations with God about it and wanted to see your thoughts.  I was thinking and praying about families who hold on to their loved ones with very poor prognosis and they want aggressive treatment, and how it's almost "un-Christian" to be a DNR, akin to even murder.  I was talking to God and I thought about how in the Bible, it talks a lot about dying and how it can happen at any moment, and that it is finishing the race, fighting the good fight, and not to cling to our life on this earth. But it’s really heartbreaking for me to see families that profess the faith and go through this dilemma and I wanted some more Godly insight on the subject.
