0 Moderator broncovet Posted July 21, 2016 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2016 An "Advance directive" is an euphamism for "Do you want to be revived if they find you unconscious?" Some people dont want to live as a vegetable, and VA likes it when you do an advance directive especially if its "DNR", which is "Do Not Ressucitate". Very often old people in a nursing home dont want to be kept alive with tubes, if they are found not breathing they want to be allowed to die.
