3 Questions in One Day: #3: Teachers and DNAR

I am posting 3 medical ethical questions today, all without any preliminary discussion by me but a reference for each so that my visitors, if they desire, can review the issue more completely before responding. However, if you have a strong feeling about the issue, you may go ahead and comment directly. ..Maurice.

Question #3: In the event of a cardio-pulmonary arrest should school teachers be required to follow "Do Not Attempt Resusitation" orders written by the parents of incurable, life-limiting, potentially terminally ill children who are still able to attend school? (Reference: American Journal of Bioethics, Jan-Feb 2005)
