When my husband (72) came home from hospital on Monday after having a possible TIA, on which the jury is still out, we had a serious discussion. He said that if he had a major stroke he would not wish to be resuscitated. He reckons he has lost so much after his brain haemorrhage in 2006, which trashed half his brain not being able to do the things he can still do would be a fate far worse than death. We have discussed it with our children and they agree that his wish should be upheld.
Are there any posters on this forum who for religious reasons disagree with a person having the right to request not to be resuscitated if it became necessary?

I see. So really this applies more in the case of elderly or chronically ill in hospital. There papers can be in place for medical staff to be aware of.
