When people use this argument she had to be fed and hydrated I find it scary.
There are a lot of conditions where you need to be fed and hydrated for and can function quite well including my Uncle who is has ALS but has a fully functioning brain and helps his grandchildren with their homework with help of a communication machine. Do you think he should be put to death?
I always stay on the side of life.
Heck there are people that are living decent lives on respirators. My friend’s mom is on a breathing machine but lives at home, communicates through her computer. By the way for my friend’s wedding in March my present to her is arranging for a nurse and ambulance so she can be at the wedding.
Yes, I know. My Mom was so for very many years. Until her brain finally shut down each part of her body. Would I have taken her life? NO. Even when she finally clamped her jaws and refused to eat or swallow, I couldn’t do it. Not until the only thing left moving was her heart and lungs and she had pneumonia.
It’s a terrible decision to have to make for anybody.
Good points.
Fantastic post!
