member in a "persistent vegetative state" who will keep on trying to deny a
person's right to die a dignified death. Due to some warped faith or belief
they persist in imposing the most horrific pain and agony on the helpless.
Their only argument is the extremely rare cases where a comatose person has
regained consciousness, even though they are not the same person once this
happens.
I would strongly support laws that would enforce the right to die in as
dignified a manner as possible under the circumstances, and this would include
assisted suicide by the terminally ill. I just could not be monster enough to
want to ever impose the pain and suffering on anyone.
Extending the argument, is the controversy over the timely administration of
sufficient pain killers for the agonizing cancer sufferers who are in the end
stage of the disease and death is inevitable. Some Doctors will do this, but
there still exists a large number who won't, and will allow the person so
tortured continue in agony.
Life and death decisions are made daily by medical personnel, that is, making
the decision to discontinue resuscitation of a traumatized person.

| and now i'm waiting for a court to rule the insane overstepping over the

| I looked at those movies btw thats just more reason to let her go like
| she wanted. OH well poor women its just another step down the road.
|
| Eventually even written living wills will be disregarded by a family

|
| Its sad that those parents can't get past that or only want money or
| whatever.
