        I am a nurse and I would say no, proper documentation needs to be filed or easily accessible to ensure accuracy of the patient’s wishes.

        Paramedics face this all the time. A person with a living will with no resuscitation isn't the one who calls 911! It's the family or friends. Nobody wants to see a loved one die, it's only natural. But it's not the family's choice. Go figure...

        It should, except how do healthcare workers know if it's sincere or a joke? People are weird these days....

        This is slippery slope, if that sincere, do it the right way. Bracelet. Legal document. If rescue did not revive him, family could say it was just a tattoo and sue.
