During the polio epidemic of the 1950s, when people were being housed in iron lungs, the country would have had a cow if anyone was unplugging these things and letting people die. Check out for yourself what an iron lung looks like if you are unfamiliar with them.

In this decadant era, people would be climbing all over themselves to flip the switch on the iron lung patients as the poor polio stricken human beings would be yelling, "Help! They're killing me!"

Yeah, you're absolutely right and I recall reading recently that there were still quite a few people in iron lungs.

What I don't get it why those desiring her death don't feel the same way about Alzheimer's and Down syndrom victims. Heck, they can't feed themself either but then maybe they are just as gung ho and have been hiding in the weeds about it.

No question about the decline in our humanity in the last 60 years. Downright scary.
