Choosing To Die
#3
I wanted to wait to post my opinion until more people stated their beliefs, because I think they will be varied and extreme. But, not many folks have left their thoughts on the subject yet.

I feel a lot like you do. I will fight, kicking and screaming, until members of family will be lined up for the privilege of pulling the plug! LOL

But this woman is different, and I've read a couple other stories that have made me stop in my tracks and think about it. One old couple, who had been married over 60 years sticks in my mind. The woman was dying of cancer; they were poor with no health insurance and couldn't even afford medicine for her. Not even pain meds. She begged her husband to kill her, and he did. He was arrested, charged with murder and died in custody two days later. Both were in their 80s.

I hope I never have to face a decision like that because when this gets REAL, I'm not sure what I would do.
