I enjoyed the interview with the Grim Reaper, although I almost didn't read it. This case seems to strike a nerve for me, for one thing because I'm about her age so it's easy for me to put myself in her place, and also because I had to make the decision to pull my mother's feeding tube 2 1/2 years ago. I really think they should just let her go. When I realized what sort of quality of life my mother would have if she woke up, I knew without a doubt that the most loving thing (and also the most difficult thing) I could possibly do for her was to give the order to pull the feeding tube and hope she went as quickly as possible. I did it for her, not for me.
