Part II, which will appear in the next issue of this journal, will address revocation of consent to, and cancellation of, DNR orders, the dispute mediation system, the role of the courts, and the effects of a DNR order. [Note: As this article was going to press, the New York State Legislature passed a statute (1991 N.Y. Laws Ch. 370) that amends New York Public Health Law Article 29-B, discussed herein. As a result of these amendments, some of the provisions discussed in Part I have been modified.
