[QUOTE="Mahoney Pursley Ranch, post: 424192, member: 565"] I am sorry you have had to make that decision. Part of my point was the "what if" situation. There are cases where people have been ill or even in a coma for a very long time,considered "dead" for all practical purposes and have returned to a fruitful if not normal life. To those who tried to explain to me the "differance",I am well aware of the differance between pulling the plug and assisted suicide. In either case it is a very very difficult decision to make. I hope I am never faced with that decision with my loved ones. When I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman in Viet Nam it was procedure to attend to the least badly wounded first to get them back to battle and to let the badly wounded that would die even if treated for last. Not treating the ones that did not know they were going to die was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. [/QUOTE]
