Peach: I'll wait while you provide a link. That is contrary to everything I've heard and read.

I think a lot of us are talking at cross purposes here.

When I have said I've stood at the bedside of people being kept alive with tubes or machines, they were ALREADY in that state. Not people who may be approaching that state.

People who have had severe, irreversible strokes and don't have cognitive abilities and are kept alive artificially, etc. BIG, HUGE, difference from what was written in that article and link.

It's like comparing apples and oranges.
