Happen not to be the worst case scenerio many times.
My son may be a quad but his zest for life is more so than some non disabled people.
Yet we have had Docs tell us over the years why let him suffer, he doesnt see his life as unfruitful!
OTOH we have had awesome Docs who support his love of life.
Before I got through the article I thought about Terri and I am really suprized her husband did not donate her body parts.
My son refuses to put donor on his ID card or on his Advanced Directive. Due to the fact he is worried a doc with the wrong insight may pull the plug if he were ever on a vent again.
I'm fairly certain the dehydration made that impossible.
After my experience with doctor treatment of my father and patients at the nursing home I worked at, my drivers license does not authorize donation of organs. I have thought long and hard about it, and while my father could have benefited from a donated kidney, he was told he was too old for it in his mid sixties. And my father had a living twin, who would have donated if asked.
