Do Not Resuscitate

Do not resuscitate orders are being placed on patients without their consent or that of their families. This should be a lead story on newscasts and in newspapers but all we hear is resounding silence, a conspiracy of silence, because it does not serve corporate or political interests to expose this crime. This care rationing is another incarnation of eugenics but people who have suffered loss in threes and fours as their loved ones fell to unilateral DNRs have not networked sufficiently to create critical mass to expose this evil practice. We will never be silent though and we will keep on trying.
