“Being kept alone artificially is not natural, I do not have problems with people saying no to that technology.”

That’s exactly right and thank you for bringing this point up. My father suffered from the progressively debilitating effects of ALS for three years. The only thing he demanded of us was not to keep him alive by mechanical means a la Stephen Hawking. It’s horror enough to watch a loved one die one muscle at a time. It’s hell on Earth to be the one going through it. My dad did not commit suicide but he certainly did not want his life prolonged one second longer. Nor did we, for that matter.

Well if we have a right to control what medical care we get, then we can accept what we want and decline what we want, when we want.

We can say no. Our greatest power.
