I cant imagine the terrible pain you and your Family experienced seeing your Mom in this vegetative state. I am truly sorry for your loss. I believe in euthanasia. I have seen too many people like that because there was no proper paperwork.The person is ready to die, but is forced to stay alive.

I can understand your feelings and also the despair you and your family must have gone through...I'm sorry for your loss...it's hard to watch your Mom suffer like that and it gives euthanasia a good name. I'm fortunate that my own mother went fast. I opted immediately for ending any life support as I knew those were her wishes. I'm going to check int the durable power of attorney for health care reasons that you mentioned for myself! (:

his wasn't. they wanted to get him new glasses a week before he died. i had to fight them to keep them from doing surgery during the last 4 months. (it wouldn't have helped him to feel better -- maybe just live a little longer.) thanks for your answer, expert. i guess there really isn't much else anybody can say. understanding the situation is a first step.

DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE DECISIONS i think everyone needs one of these.
unfortunately, i didn't use mine as i should have.

death is a natural phenomenom, pills are not.. i couldn' agree more , why the pain and suffering.. nobody but nobody needs to bear that. if life were that simple it wouldn't be worth living.. perhaps his suffering has a greater meaning .only god knows why,you dont suffer in vein for no reason, you cant have light without darkness.. i beleive the more you suffer the greater the reward in heaven.. christ could have simply have taken a pill instead of the cross .. but why did he suffer so much.to ease our pain. all the more reason to beleive we must suffer as well to be with christ you and the loved ones as well

When something like that happens it would be better to let them go but in some cases after a long time the person improved. The human body is hard to understand at times. If it was my mum I dont know what I would want.

I symphatise with you and I agree that in many instances euthanasia is preferrable to the alternative. Having seen over the 79 years I have been here the terrible suffering of those with incurable cancer that are forced to suffer has been a major reason I no longer believe in a supreme all loving being.

Before you start your tirade so called christians I DO NOT WANT YOU BULLS__T. Please do NOT answer this, it is NOT a question it is a statement of fact. I repeat, you stick to your believe and do me the courtesy of allowing me to do the same.
