Different in some places but not everywhere. I'm not saying this as a position, just an observation. My viewpoint would be far more developed than even that.
Well what is your viewpoint? After multiple comments I still can't piece it together.
Because I wasn't mentioning my own viewpoint, I was mentioning how the law might differ.
I did explain it explicitly, so I think the best way to explain it then is with an analogy/visualization.
Imagine an umbrella. The umbrella is labelled "issues of self-harm". Underneath the umbrella are all the things which can amount to or turn into it.
On the very edge underneath it is the issue of DNR. Where you live, the umbrella is nudged away from it. Where I live, the umbrella would just pass over it.
My own stance, which I have not mentioned until right now, is that, supposing someone has asked all the questions to themselves relating to their life, they should consult whoever has authority over the DNR or whatever it is.
The fact the very same important questions can be asked in the first place regarding both aspects of this issue (which you give the impression don't come off as related) shows they are related in the ways alluded to. The episode of Doc even explored this very thing. Hence I said that would not work out where I live. Hence I was asking, what kinds of legal culture shock have you picked up on in a TV show.
