Since 1987, New York has had a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) law allowing surrogates to make decisions regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation on behalf of an adult patient who lacks medical decision-making capacity.
Od 1987., New York je imao Ne oživljavaj (NO) zakon koji je dopuštao surogatima da donose odluke o kardiopulmonalnom oživljavanju u ime odraslog pacijenta koji nije u stanju donositi odluke.
