Best Answer

DNR, or do not resuscitate, is usually a choice made by someone who is very ill. It is a contract that states if a medical crisis presents itself, they would like to let nature take its course and not use medical technology to prolong an inevitable death. This is not the definition of suicide; suicide is a deliberate act and is not seen as a natural progression.
