Medical professionals can be moved by the pain of watching death as well; that doesn't mean that intervening would interfere with the express desires of the patient and her family. There's a reason why people are ultimately cycled out of hospitals fairly quickly, or stay for their entire careers, without too much middle ground.
I'm not entirely sure I understand your sentiment.
Look this entire argument can be summed up with a few basic, logical, facts.
1. The nursing home, for legal reasons, most likely had the family sign documentation as it relates to all policies.
Now this one fact should be enough to end the debate. However should more evidence be required I can submit the following.
1. The daughter, a trained nurse, is not upset.
2. The police are not upset.
Combine the evidence and you realize we have people in this thread more upset over this situation then the family involved.
Should you be suggesting my feelings had I been in the deceased shoes? Well I read all documentation before I sign it. That, in and of itself, takes us to my first point.
She would by definition have been unconscious by the time her heart gave out and the DNR agreement came into effect. Apart from that.. I doubt a retirement home has the capacity to perform emergency medical care to keep her from passing.
As for if the woman knew about it or not, that's none of your business, or the business of the media. HIPAA.
So you're concerned that her daughter, her apparent care-taker and a trained nurse, intentionally (or otherwise) endangered her life? Or do people in this thread just assume they know better than the daughter when it comes to the care this woman should have received?
I'm just curious which it is. Because the first one is a crime and you shouldn't make criminal accusations without evidence. The second is, well, stupidity. And that runs rampant on the internet.

But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.
Last I checked, although I could be wrong, a family cannot designate DNR unless very specific requirements are met.

DNR is irrelevant the Nurse was following company procedures and in so ensuring she wouldn't be fired or possibly sued. I'm sure the family was made aware of these regulations and yet continued to put her there.
I don't understand what the debate is here.
One time there were these people and they had a situation. They agreed that if something happened they would take a certain action. Something happened and the agreement was upheld.
Happy ending!
