About this listen

When someone signs a Do Not Resuscitate order, it’s supposed to be the final say. But what happens when family members, doctors, or even strangers override that decision—whether out of love, fear, or control?

In this episode, Kaylee walks Kelsey and Sheila through realities where DNRs were ignored, exploring the ethical, legal, and emotional fallout. From stories of unwanted revivals to the murky space between consent and panic, we’re asking the hard question: Who really gets the final word when someone’s dying wish is "Let me go"?

Buckle up for an honest conversation about autonomy, guilt, and why death deserves just as much respect as life.
