Popis: It is imperative to seek remedy in life-threatening situations. When treatment benefit is doubted, seeking remedy becomes facultative. If the treatment is futile, there is no need to continue. Resuscitation has the ability to reverse premature death. It can also prolong terminal illness, increase discomfort, and consume resources. The do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order and advance directives are still a debated issue in critical care patients.The DNR order in the case of terminal illness is encouraged in Islam.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 02 No. 01 Jan’18.
