"At 79, Dunedin (New Zealand) woman Paula Westoby wants doctors and medical emergency workers to be under no illusions about what to do if she has a stroke or heart attack. Today Ms Westoby will become one of the oldest people in the country to be tattooed when she has the words `Do not resuscitate" tattooed on her chest. Ms Westoby, the Dunedin coordinator of the euthanasia group Exit, said she wanted to die with dignity and when she decided. She said she was excited and nervous about being tattooed but it was also part of the campaign to change the law to allow people to choose when they died."- NZ Herald
