You should at the very least investigate the effectiveness and risks of resuscitation. I only got a DNR after being diagnosed with incurable cancer, but had I known the (in)effectiveness and risks of resuscitation I would have done it much earlier.

It depends on a lot of factors. Most young people without a preexisting issue shouldn't get a DNR. Are there cases where they bring you back as a vegetable? Sure. But there are also cases where they bring you back and make a full recovery. A living will or medical power of attorney would better address the scenarios with bad outcomes for young people without preexisting issues.
