The physician's task is to recognize the patient who is not going to benefit from the cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). He is obliged to decide whether the CPR should be initiated at all, or should it be terminated if already started. Two points are to be considered: the natural history of the present illness and the wish of the patient. Acting against those rules injures the patient's dignity and makes the unavoidable dying longer.
医生的任务是识别那些无法从心肺复苏（CPR）中获益的患者。他必须决定是否应该启动心肺复苏，或者如果已经开始，是否应该终止。需要考虑两点：当前疾病的自然病程和患者的意愿。违背这些规则会损害患者的尊严，并使不可避免的死亡过程延长。
