Brownback signs DNA consent bill in Kansas
Gov Sam Brownback signed Senate Bill 85 to require parental consent before instituting a do not resuscitate order for a minor. The measure, championed by anti abortion groups, allows disputes to go to district court if parents object. Sheryl and Scott Crosier of Missouri urged passage after their infant son Simon died with an unconsented DNR attached to his chart. The bill passed 121 3 in the House and 29 9 in the Senate.
