An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
First of all the being christian doesn't really relate to being pro-choice having your end of life wishes respected. By default they will save you unless they have very good reason not to, because if they don't family can sue the hospital.
I guess it might work if your Christian Scientist parents are there and adamantly refusing treatment on your behalf. But then they might get arrested, so it might not be worth the effort unless the faith appeals to you for other reasons.
I've worked in the Health Care industry as a care giver. Unless things have changed, in an emergency situation, DNRs don't mean SQUAT unless you have a fully legal copy of it signed and brought with you to the ER. Even then, there's this thing about "Implied Consent" in regards to Health Care which gives caregivers legal liability if you are deemed not to be able to make your own decisions (unconscious, "crazy", a minor, etc.).
I do agree with Soul that if you had parents / spouse / etc with you, with me adding that you have a Living Will authorizing those people to make medical decisions on your behalf, then you'd be good.
If a legal DNR form is all you need to not receive life saving services in the USA then why doesn't everyone committing suicide of say OD have one on their person at the time of suicide? My biggest fear is being being discovered early. Would a DNR really stop emergency services from allowing a relatively young person to die when they could be resuscitated? And could just anyone get a DNR or do you need a reason like a terminal illness or religious exemption, as the OP suggested?
