I said keep me alive as long as possible, by whatever means possible. When they pull the plug, that's it. There is no coming back, so I want every option exercised. With my luck, they'd pull the plug on the day they find a cure for whatever I had

. So want to be kept alive until science can't keep me alive.

And personally, I think the coverage this case has recieved to be mildly sickening. It seems politicians (from BOTH sides) will take whatever measures possible to avoid tackling real issues. All the handwringing and grandstanding seems really ghoulish.
