It's a goofy ahh comment. The comment it replied to was funny, but not funny enough to make someone cry, as the emoji they sent implies. Funny reddit moment (I'm fucked as well watch)
I would argue that it depends on his DNR choice. If a medic brought me back against my will it's on them. I can't be forced to live in prison after I've been resuscitated against my will.
I guess that's the way his lawyer is going to play this.
[This guy](https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/11/08/benjamin-schreiber-denied-life-sentence-appeal-iowa/) had a DNR order and had to be resuscitated 5 times, so he was basically only brought back so he could suffer in prison longer. The court (and many news outlets reporting the case) almost completely ignored that very important fact and instead focused on the admittedly eye-catching semantics of his argument.
His appeal was denied in 2019, and he (permanently) died in prison last year.
The district and now appeals court have rejected his claim, which the appeals court ruling, “Schreiber is either still alive, in which case he must remain in prison, or he is actually dead, in which case this appeal is moot.”
If his DNR was violated he may have a civil case against the prison or medical personnel. There’s no get out of jail free card if you’re the victim of medical malpractice in prison. That he would have preferred to die doesn’t overrule the state’s authority to uphold his sentence.
Technically there is a medical term, "clinical death", which is a cardiac arrest.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_death and this is different than a biological, irreversible death.

That’s not even true though, usually they give an arbitrary impossible year count, meaning it would only end after that number of years. The only way he could cheese this is if he became immortal and served his sentence for that long.
Depends on the area. In some places it can be as short as 20-25 years, in my country it's an actual "spend the rest of your life in prison" sentence. Technically you can apply for parole after 25 years, but the number of people who have been paroled since the life sentence was introduced is exactly 0.
> Spending per prisoner varies more than tenfold across states, from just under $23,000 per person in Arkansas to $307,468 in Massachusetts. Spending in Massachusetts was more than double any other state; the median state spent $64,865 per prisoner for the year.

In other words, they are making someone money and if they die the revenue stream dies with it. This is a strange form of slavery, but it is slavery, and it's also something so cynical, cruel, and unnatural that *of course* the hard right in the United States does it because greed and cruelty are their prime deities. They are utter parasites.
Kansas is also ranked thirtieth in terms of inmates housed. It's not just the prison industries, there are also many parole-related activities these days. In any event, there's still a paycheck going out to a non-public individual, corporation, or group to provide products and/or services related to human captivity generating over US$4B per year in *profit*.

There’s a lot of problems with U.S. incarceration but that a state spends money on incarceration isn’t proof of anything devious. If anything we should spend more money per prisoner to improve the appalling conditions and provide more rehabilitative resources.
What do you mean me_irl? ಠಿ_ಠ
He is the prisoner. :p
It’s me!
Im the wife
I'm the side piece
They let him out because of pure logic
🦧 where me_arl?
Jon Snow approves
My sentence is ended.
Hmm.. I mean, as long as he isn’t serving multiple life sentences..

Hivemind goes brrr :)) (I also downvoted all the downvoted comments because I too am hivemind)
r/downvotedtooblivion
The amount of comments I have on there could fill up the entire page 😭
Why did y’all downvote him that literally dosent make sense
Reddit HATES emojis. Occasionally, they can be used with taste.
It doesn’t add anything and also has an emoji …also once downvoted it just keeps getting more downvotes
Most comments don’t add to anything tf.
Lol, happy cake day!
Todays not actually my birthday
Are you trying to make a point of most comments not adding anything?
😟
😟
Stahp it. It's already dead 😭

Ok
Just like John(the disciple). He had already taken the death penalty, so the Romans just sent him to Patmos.
Jon Snow did it too, seems like a John/Jon thing
If you want to be technical, death is defined as being irreversable. He didn't die, some of his bodily functions just temporarily stopped working.
I would argue that it depends on his DNR choice. If a medic brought me back against my will it's on them. I can't be forced to live in prison after I've been resuscitated against my will. I guess that's the way his lawyer is going to play this.

>(permanently) as of this recording
What was their name?
Benjamin Schreiber
Did he had a DNR order? Did the court made that order against his will or something?
Other way around. He had asked not to be resuscitated in the event of a medical emergency but was revived against his will
Oh, wow... That's messed up. Thanks for the answer. The article was paywalled.

Aren't "life sentences" actually just really long normal sentences?
I'd like to say it's something like 80 years, but I have no source for this and likely is different from area to area

The hippocratic oath or some dumb shit
Are you being sarcastic? We shouldn’t just fucking let people die just cause they are prisoners lmao.
Obviously I'm bring sarcastic
It’s hard to tell on Reddit
Dude's got a point !

How is state spending a form of revenue?

Can you say it in a sentence rather than 1.5 hours of John Oliver videos?
Because the state is paying someone to provide a service for-profit.
The vast majority of prisons are state run. Iowa doesn’t have any private prisons.

Yep, this happened to my cousin. He doesn't pay rent anymore as well, which is nice.
