I think the majority of problems come in when the person is not aware and the family has conflicting opinions, or opinions that some people find unacceptable.
Like when rich old comatose grandma may or may not be in pain and needs expensive treatments that are eating into the inheritance.
There are so many issues that cloud the debate and make it not simple.
For me, if I am awake and decide it's time to go, I'll manage to get it done, no matter what the law.
In our situation there was nothing of value to inherit.
“Like when rich old comatose grandma may or may not be in pain and needs expensive treatments that are eating into the inheritance. “
The GOVERNMENT should have NO SAY on when a life ends. That is up to the individual who is suffering and hopefully wishes were made known BEFORE they were ill.
If you believe the GOVERNMENT will NOT push for DEATH under ALL circsumstance, “dead” you are not being realitic. This will take away INDIVIDUAL WISHES and make it a one size fits all FINAL solution. We DO NOT want that in the U.S..
