I have a different point of view; perhaps from walking in the shoes of one who really wanted to help someone die but was unable to. My oldest brother was hit by a car in 1981 and was in a "vegetative state" for 25 years....I wanted so badly to unplug his respirator. My sister and younger brother and I fought to have it disconnected. (His wife had been killed in an accident 5 years earlier and their kids were too young to have a say). It was a very ugly time. It was made even uglier by the fact that he "lived" like that for 25 years almost to the day. What a waste! I know that people say that God has a reason for everything but I just can't find a reason in this.....maybe I'm just not open minded enough; I don't know. But at least it taught me to make certain that EVERYONE knows what I want and to have it in writing!!!!!!
