IMHO if he can’t sustain life on his own than they should pull the plug. It looks like they gave him a good chance with artificial support but it appears that did not work out. My wife and I have been through this experience with our own close relatives. This is happening with some neighbors right now. A tough decision to make.

I agree. I’m 81 years old and my kids know how I feel and my doctor knows how I feel. I have also taken care of the legalities.

There’s no plug.
Idiocy.
Withholding hydration is NOT pulling a plug. It’s HORRIBLY PAINFUL bec every single organ in the body deprived of hydration slowly turns into a ROCK. All the blood coagulates to the tongue. Those organs all have nerves. PAIN, TORTURE. Sure, why not??? Free Republic is pro-life and if there’s no plugs being pulled due to a genuine coma, it’s torture and it’s murder unless the person sentences themselves to die this way in a living will before they get sick.
