[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you not respect their wishes?[/quote] Do you not understand how awful it is to be the person making the decision for them?[/quote] I've made that decision. My dad died suddenly and unexpectedly because I followed his advance directives. It actually made mourning his death easier for me. I was glad I respected his wishes and knew I did right by him. And that brought me a sense of peace. [/quote] My sibling did not and my dad had a massive heart attack. The doctors said let him pass and my doctor sibling refused, made him go through surgery to have to be on a vent for two weeks before she agreed to let him go. They weren't close so it was about her, not him. His advanced directive said no life saving measures in these situations. Its a blessing not to suffer when you die.[/quote]
