[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say they haven't experienced a close relative living as a vegetable. Meaning feeding tube, laying in bed, staring at the walls, no commuication, hell, no brain function. Huge medical interventions that lead to nothing but back in the bed, staring at the walls with more tubes and more meds. We spend more in the last months of life than we do the rest. For me, pull the damn plug and let me go in peace and with dignity [/quote] My aunt was in a nursing home and had a DNR. The DNR was not with her when the ambulance arrived (she stopped eating). So, in this case, she’d already decided she no longer wanted to love. The hospital treated her and she loved another 12 years in a home in a mostly vegetative state. It was very sad because she’d been a lively person who was in her bed. [/quote]
