Bioethics: Maryland and Vermont DNR codes

Maryland and Vermont have joined Texas in taking away patient's right to decide life and death decisions.   A doctor can now legally write a DNR code on a patient's chart EVEN OVER THE OBJECTION OF THE PATIENT AND HIS FAMILY.  No court order is necessary.  If you are poor, you're dead.
