I don't feel like I can play God with humans, but what if I'm ever asked if I think it's time to pull the plug on someone?
That would be trying to guess what they would want, and I'd hate to be in that position.

OTOH, if I was the sick person, and IF I DECIDED that I had had enough suffering, why should anyone be able to stop me?

Thanks for your efforts Wag.
You're a good FReeper.

I totally believe in a person's right to have an advanced medical directive specified which life support systems can be stopped and under what circumstances (I will NEVER be convinced that a feeding tube is life support as they have been in use for several hundred years). However, termination of life support is completely different than taking pro-active measures to kill someone.
