I am putting my text back in. It went something like this...I don't think it's fair to keep someone alive if they are a vegetable and they don't want to live like that. It should be their choice as to what to do with their lives. I don't think it's a sign of weakness or lack of respect for life, but rather a sign of strength and respect for wanting to die with dignity. And even if there is some joy that person can bring to others by still being around, I don't think it's fair to that person to have to suffer to do that. And I can't help but wonder if healthcare facilities keep people alive after their quality of life is living like a vegetable, just to make money off of them. They charge a huge amount to take care of people like this. I'm not trying to offend anyone or say it's true, but I do wonder if in some places, keeping people alive after their quality of life is gone, is more like a business than something that is done out of kindness. It's just my opinion.
