What many of you fail to understand is this was the nursing homes policy, if you like it or not. No one is forced to attend this Home, but if you do, the rules apply.
You may believe the State of Israel is apikorsis, but if you attend an MO yeshiva you will be expected to march in the Israli Day Parade.
What you fail to understand is the business aspect of saving a life. If a person signs a DNR and one performs CPR, the nursing home or hospital can be sued for millions! If one performs CPR outside the hospital and fails or messes up, that person or hospital is liable for damages since the insurance coverage of the hospital does not extend outside the hospital. There are a lot of financial and legal considerations that Nursing Homes and Hospitals need to consider in a country where everyone loves to sue!
