[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope your kids don’t talk about you like many of you are talking about your parents here. Jesus you’re callous and lacking compassion. Just remember, this will be you someday.[/quote]

You're wrong.  People are callous because we are extending life way beyond what is natural and what God intended.  Many times out of fear of liability from the doctor.  It's ok to let people die naturally.  We don't have to keep a sack of flesh alive when the person that was inside is already gone.  And it's perfectly appropriate to recognize this fact.  Who knows - in the afterlife these life extending measure might be considered torture or inhumane.[/quote]

I think about this topic. To keep choosing life extending procedures with other medical issues abounding and increasing the chance the body could outlast the mind. I’m not sure this is how it is supposed to be. Why are doctors and insurance proceeding forward in very late ages?  Are they profiting off our seniors or unwilling to address the societal issue here? Does respecting life mean invention of dying whenever possible?  Are we also going to grasp at life when death is facing us even though we think now we won’t? Will we also not consider the caregiver and taxpayer burdens as a result?  Such heavy and ethical issues among the medical advancements. [/quote]
