[QUOTE="ffscj, post: 79633, member: 293"] I think we all need to think of what we would want done if we were in this condition. When your read all these websites talking about how her condition is not as grave as her MDs say it is, you need to remember that this the information of those that want to keep her alive want you to see and not necessarily the facts. I think that her family is not facing the reality of her prognosis or her condition. They state that she is alert but I don't think that is true but for the sake of argument lets say that she is. Can you imagine the torture that she must be feeling having a mind that works and trapped in a prison that she has no control of and no way to communicate whats going on in her mind. I would rather be dead than mentally suffer in that way. When considering "starving to death" we are considering how we as conscious beings would suffer when this occurs. I had to go through this with my uncle and the MD told me that for someone who's mind in not functioning properly that it is painless and that the person goes into a sleep and passes on. For those of you who state that the husband should just divorce her and go on with his live, consider if your spouse/loved one was suffering could you just "divorce" yourself and everything would be okay? I would hope that my wife would continue to fight for my right to die if I had no quality of life. I've worked in EMS for 27 years and seen many people who are suffering through a life that is much worse that death. For those of you believe in God and an after life, why should this poor woman not be allowed to pass and become perfect at the feet of God? Just my two cents worth and considering inflation, that's not worth much. Chris. [/QUOTE]
