I was asking for your personal opinion, not a bunch of links. How incapacitated would YOU personally have to be before YOU personally consider it “brain dead?”

Brain death IS NOT "incapacitation" no matter how you want to portray it.

What I "personally" want is not important because it will ALWAYS be possible to find someone who "wouldn't want to live like that" and then apply that as the benchmark.

Where would YOU draw the line? Who do YOU think should live? Why would YOU handicap yourself with something like brain death when you could just as easily say IQ or motor functions or earning capacity or cost?

This person suffering from hereditary defects
costs the people 60,000 Reichmarks during his lifetime.
People, that is your money. Read ‘New People’.

Thank you for your post but until you can answer a simple question, I am going to have to assume that you are far to emotionally invested to discuss the matter civilly and logically, I will leave you to this thread.

Have a nice day.
