This is a link to “The Good Fight” with Barbara Mcwiggin (spelling??). She interviewed a physician (and FReeper) re: this very issue. I urge all to listen.

Dear MacMattico,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sorry I didn’t see the pings to this thread earlier as I have not been online much lately. If you still need to discuss any of these issues, please get in touch. I just sent you a PM with my contact info. Though it wasnt my mom, I went through a very similar ordeal with a close personal friend. Diamond6 posted a link above to an EWTN radio interview I did about these issues and what happened to my friend.
Be assured of my prayers,
Brian
