Really? My family is composed of traditional Catholics, very pro-life, but we don't want any heroic life-extending measures for a terminal illness. God gives us a certain limited time on earth. I have a feeling the ones who want the equivalent of an executive's salary every few months in health care are afraid of dying and what comes after or believe there is no after.
“My family is composed of traditional Catholics, very pro-life, but we don’t want any heroic life-extending measures for a terminal illness.”
Granted, but at least thats you or your family making that decision for yourselves. Not the government.
I knew three people who had terminal cancer, once survived three years, one survived two years and one nine months, in all instances I am glad they fought tooth and nail to remain alive as long as possible, to see kids graduate, to see siblings get married, etc.
I don’t understand the concept of just rolling over and dying: whatever happened to “I refuse to @#$$#ing die!”
