I ran across one of those yesterday. He's a democrat, and that conversation then degenerated into one where he said if tax dollars were spent on keeping her alive the he felt he should have some say in saying "no more". I said well then just empty out the nursing home but at least be honest enough to say that state sanctioned euthanasia was his goal, and if we were going to do that then we should at least be humane enough to euthanize with a lethal injection. He shut up for a few minutes.
I work in a medical facility, and today I ran across someone who said she was brain dead. I said you know better than that. Brain dead is not spontaneously breathing and needing drugs to regulate blood flow and heart function. Oh yeah, they say, I guess she isn't brain dead.
Well, so she's in a PVS they say...well lets talk about that. According to a medical paper that's a diagnosis where there is little agreement and is mistakenly given even across experts. They quiet down too.
It does amaze me the number of people who think she "should" die.
