When I was a young snot I told my mother that I thought life should be extended no matter what, she just gave me a knowing smile. I was 22 when my father discovered Cancer of the liver. My mother and I were his primary caregivers since he decided to forgo treatment and pass at home.

It was a tough decision but we just let him pass peacefully. I did not try any CPR and we did not call the ambulance. The Doctor knew what was coming and told us to call him when it was done and he would take care of the paper work.

I told my mother after it was over that I had changed my mind about extraordinary measures and she did not have to worry.
