"Apparently you have never sat at the bedside of a person ‘kept going’ by machinery and seen the deterioration..... bones break, skin sloughs away from bone, bruising leads to muscle rot, it is heart breaking to watch people put their loved ones through this defilement because they refuse to let go."

That's awful. If you personally experienced it, I am very sorry.

I have and on more than one occasion.

And as an aside, I chose to do so. Do not be sorry for me, I have done this because it is something I have chosen to do as part of my job. I try and help families understand but sometimes they will not or cannot. For me it is a mission of compassion that I try to bring to the bedside of those who are sick and dying. Sometimes it is at the bedside of those already gone from this veil of tears
