Amen, sister. No one cares for your own as much as you do.
And therein lies the rub (for me, anyhow) that the posters who think this is perfectly fine, or, that they don’t want to be on life support, blah blah blah, completely miss, or conveniently miss, -— this is about someone who is cared about. Be it my mother, son, brother, etc., I care about them, and I will exhaust every effort to make sure a fatal mistake is not made. Further, if Teri Schiavo was my sister, mother, aunt, etc.. I feel it is MY decision to take care of her, NOT the state! MY decision on how her quality of life is, if I am willing to spend my time caring lovingly for her, as long as she breathes. /rant off...
