    Check your state law. In some states it is very illegal to ignore a properly filled out DNR, religion or no religion.

    Also, hospice is not state assisted suicide. Hospice is comfort care, and it’s not about causing someone to die, it’s about helping someone who is terminal be more comfortable during the time they have left.

      It is 100% legal to refuse medical care because of being Christian. This has been litigated to death.

      Its illegal to punish somebody for refusing to provide medical care if they claim that doing so would be against their (christian) religion. This has also been litigated to death.

      Also, hospice is not state assisted suicide.

      No, but Hospice does include not preventing death if the patient doesnt want to go on a bunch of stuff

      Hospice is comfort care, and it’s not about causing someone to die, it’s about helping someone who is terminal be more comfortable during the time they have left.

      And usually letting them die when they want to.

      Its how my dad finally died, He got hospice and the doctor gave him a massive overdose of Morphine (after multiple days of asking the doctor to let him die).
