“These kind of questions have to be dealt with by the family on a case by case basis. “Pulling the plug” sometimes has to be done.”

That’s what living wills are for - it should be an individual’s decision, or the immediate family’s in the event there is no living will (but even then, hopefully the family is loving, knows that person’s feelings on the subject and will honor them either way).

It should NOT be decided by government death panels, Godless progressives or those brainwashed by them.

You might add insurance companies to your list who are doing this as we speak.

Folks cant depend on anyone but their selves to deal with this issue.

“or those brainwashed by them.”

That’s the very sort of nanny-state condescension the libs do. “These people aren’t smart enough to make their own decisions.” Maybe they aren’t, but in a free society we respect their decisions about certain personal life choices. Signing a DNR order is one of those cases where we dare not second guess the individual’s choice.
