I join you in prayer, Ohio.
If it were within my power to MAKE every single cognizent citizen put their wishes in writing, I would certainly do that.
But that won't ever happen. We can't even make people on this thread remain civil to each other.
And so then people will lapse into comas, PVS states, irreversible strokes, etc., and decisions have to be made. And I want them made by the families, not judges.
And decisions to end those lives are not made just because it's inconvenient and only when doctors tell families there is no hope.
Would that that were true.......or that all doctors shared the view that life is sacred.
Unfortunately, it is not so, and convenience and expense are indeed factors.
