+1. I don't understand why some kids want everything medically possible done for their parents when mom/dad is incontinent, demented, bed-bound, and basically a vegetable. [/quote]

When you need to pull the plug on someone you love, you'll understand.

I say if other people not dying bothers you, try dying yourself. This may give you the needed perspective.[/quote]

Read the article above. It isn't the dying people that are desperate to live. Nor is it those that have been close to them in the final years. It is those that fly in from hundreds of miles away a couple of times a year and seek to show how much they care. Were you one of those?[/quote]

[b]Not pp, put that is a really offensive question.  You have no idea of the hell and grief other people have been through.[/quote][/b]

It's not an offensive question if you have been a caretaker of a terminally ill loved one.  You would realize their pain and empathize with the person suffering. There is nothing wrong in death with dignity. [/quote]

I held my mother as she died in my arms just a few months ago.  I realized her pain.  I agonized over the decisions I had to make.  There is nothing wrong in death with dignity.  There is everything wrong with asking a stranger if s/he is "one of those" that makes life and death decisions based on how it makes her look.[/quote]
