The woman in the article chose to accept any fate that the diaster might give and not panic and "fight" things. Nothing would change. I hope I meet my end with some dignity.

I also agree in most instances. I was just talking about this one
instance, that I don't get. :confused:

Yes it seems at least here in the US that many of us seem to feel entitled to live forever. All the heroic efforts available from modern medicine are employed even when good common sense might suggest otherwise. :(

I pray that my family honors my wishes which are clearly documented. DNR, DNI nothing but pain management. Even today in my late 40's, if a Heimlich maneuver won't restart my respirations, leave me alone.

I have the same documentation and have assurances from my POA that they will be respected.

I have also pre-arranged for the body to be delivered to the (private) anatomy & research lab where I have the privilege of continuing to learn through dissection...because of others who made the same arrangements before me.

This body has taught me a lot and continues to do so.
My hope is that it will go on to be an instrument of learning for others once I am done with it.:)

With love, Erika
