We could use a few hundred more.
I went through this with my elderly aunt. I didn't know anything about any of this. Most I talked to, chaplain, nurse, priest, (he must have been busy and didn't seem to want my phone call), presby minister, just about everybody except my sister, were against it and tried to make me feel like I was doing the wrong thing. So I have no confidence in the medical profession when it comes to ethics in this kind of situation. Actually I've had little confidence in the medical profession ethically since abortion became legal. I was on my own.
I couldn't let her starve to death and thought she might be more comfortable, acutely aware that I may be dooming her to possible years of suffering, but I took the risk. And prayed. She lived two weeks after that and died peacefully with only a couple episodes of pain.
Doctors have to be detached in order to survive what they have to deal with on a daily basis or they would go insane imo.
They do heroic things to save some people; I'll be the first to acknowledge that.
If I had been the doctor, I would have had to refuse to remove Terri's feeding tube and would have ruined my career.
