No biggie, unless of course you did want to die and nobody would let you. That would be Titanic, would it not?

I have allowed to die and set by holding the hands of a grandfather, father, mother and husband. I do believe in letting go when it is time.

There is a big difference with dying and being disabled. You would be amazed at the number of severly disabled folks (and I mean, no body motion and a few eyeblinks) who won't approve of DNR orders.

It isn't until you are 'there' on the other side (ie, in that body) that your perspective changes.

Of course you are right and unfortunately some of us will have to make a decision on something like this in our lifetime when one of our own is lying on that bed. When this happens, it is possible that our perspective may change. I know it would be hard to say goodbye to someone you love, but on the other hand love may be exactly why I would do it.
