My decisions to accept treatment or to decline treatment is one that stays between me and my God. It has nothing to do anyone else.
I am well aware of, and quite sensitive to the ‘wishes’ of others...in my immediate family, and beyond. However, that in no way serves as a substitute to the decisions that I make with the help of God.
Even in light of the ‘moral absolutes’ often espoused, I recognize that there is a point in life where my continued existence on this earthly plane is for naught; there will be nothing to be gained by extending my life. At that point, I have directed that my wishes be honored, via my personal DNR and NHM instructions.
That is my moral absolute.

NOBODY is questioning the right for a DNR or valid cessation of life support, this is about taking measures that will ONLY result in death.
