O Sung Wu, if you have filled out an Advanced Healthcare Directive (find it online) , and ask a lawyer to help you word it correctly, you leave a copy at your local hospital, with your GP, with family, and at your house. The medical staff can't resus you if there is a current AHD available that requests no resus.

Don't forget to add that you don't want any treatment of any sort either, if you are found alive but unwell. Perhaps you might consider No antibiotics or other medications that may prolong your life, but that you want to be made comfortable with pain relief medications? The lawyer usually knows what to suggest to say.
My mother has made hers out like that, and she feels much easier now.

Thank you so much SUSEONLINE, that's very kind of you to supply me with that information, I must confess I never knew such an arrangement (document) existed? Again, thank you!
