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.

It's nice to discuss this.
