I vote YES!!! I personally have a son who is severely handicapped( age 25). I would not want to be kept on a respirator to keep my heart going, when all other funtions have shut down. BUT, and this is a BIG BUT!! we have a woman, who BREATHES on her own, SMILES, trys to TALK, LAUGHS, all she needs is FED.....HEY. She is productive. WHO is to say she is not BLESSING THE SOCKS off of others?? She sure has inspired ME with her smiles. Don't know about anyone else. I VOTE YES!!!
