I didn't have an opinion about this till today when a friend of mine asked me what I would want if I were in this woman's place. I would want to be kept alive until I became a burden on someone. I love life, but I love my family and friends more. If, God forbit, something happened to be that put me in a state like this, I'd want everyone to come and say goodbye and allow me to stop burdening them. If my wife wanted to let me pass, and my parents wanted to let me live (what a terrible situation), I wouldn't want them to battle over me. After I leave, I want them to still be family. So I just told my wife and my parents my wishes on the phone, along with some good news to kinda soften the somber message. Thanks, I appreciate you wanting to fight till the last second, but I'll be fine. My faith will keep me company.
Congress can go and make laws all they want, but they have no buisness in a case by case basis of things like this.
I also think that people shouldn't get mad at people on the other side of this argument. There is no right and wrong answer in this, it comes down to personal choice. If once side chooses one way, that is there right. If the other side chooses the the other way, that is their right as well.
