Do Not Resuscitate: What Young Doctors Would Choose sounds scary

I came across an article today on the Internet that I think is good to be aware of. The first one comes from the New York Times by Paula Span. Titled Do Not Resuscitate: What Young Doctors Would Choose http://newoldage.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/05/20/do-not-resuscitate-what-young-doctors-would-choose/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0

I am a little suspicious of anybody young making a decision about somebody being old. I think this is a concern about how we are cared for changes in health law. When you're young everything is rosy and you have this feeling that as you age you're going to be feeling like you do now. There's nothing like aging yourself to tell yourself that whatever you thought when you're young you really didn't know what you were getting into when you got old. It is different!
But the article shows the doctors based on their experience of caring for older people whether young or old seemed to be in agreement about 88% of what they would do with people who were in the last stages of life. Is this do in part to some similar training and indoctrination? Or is it due to clinical and observational data? The latter makes sense, but if it's indoctrination of a dogma in favor of euthanasia then it's good to be suspect of the opinion.
Because people are fragile in an aged state (last three months of life) to take heroic efforts to save the life that would soon die anyway there could be a lot of damage, broken bones and continued conditions of suffering. Knowing this is what most doctors’ feel about them as they become (aged), taking heroic measures and questioning is it really worth it.
For me in the article the operative word is, "If they had an illness that would soon kill them.” We are not talking about getting older and getting cared for knowing that the care will give you one year or two years or three years or more of life. What we're talking about is we have entered into an age situation where that says within weeks, or days, or even hours death is imminent.  There is a difference between something that may save your life and give you life for a while and actions that are done that will only prolong death. Working through this ahead of time is important.
Not doing something that may give a person added years of your life but just because they're older care would be refused, that would be euthanasia. But giving care to the dying and allowing them to die as comfortable as possible is not euthanasia. Anyway that’s my take on on the subject, read the article for yourself and see what the doctors are saying.
