That is truly, very sad. I am very sorry, for you, and your family, raeanna74. I have to echo Art's sentiments about treating the animal members of our family better than the human members. I know that we place a higher value on human life, but what about the quality of that life? We keep people alive, by any means possible, simply in the interest of preserving life. Why? My daughter works as a CNA, in a nursing home. Not all, but many are simply being "warehoused" there until they die. She sees , first hand, the suffering that many of these people endure, on a daily basis. Medical science keeps expanding the lifespan for humans, but at what cost? What kind of life is it when you can't do even the simplest things for yourself? What kind of life is it when you can't remember the names and faces of your loved ones? What kind of llife is it when you are in constant pain and suffering, from a terminal illness? My family is well aware of my wishes. I want the plug pulled.
